Who Are You Gonna Be? 🤷‍♀️

Why is this question important? Because it’s asking what kind of person (Kind, Rude, etc.) you want to be in the future.

In the bitter cold of January 13, 1982, Washington, D.C. found itself gripped by tragedy as Air Florida Flight 90 crashed into the icy Potomac River during takeoff. Amidst the chaos and despair, Lenny Skutnik emerged as an unexpected hero.

As the stricken plane sank into the frigid waters, Skutnik, a bystander, witnessed the horror unfold. Ignoring the biting cold and potential danger, he leaped into action. The freezing river welcomed him, but his only focus was on rescuing those in need.

Spotting Priscilla Tirado, a survivor struggling against the current, Skutnik swam determinedly towards her. With unwavering resolve, he managed to reach her side and pull her to safety. His act of courage stood out amidst the tragedy, a beacon of hope amid the icy waters.

The nation took notice of Skutnik’s selflessness, and his heroism became a symbol of ordinary citizens rising to the occasion. President Reagan acknowledged Skutnik’s bravery during the State of the Union address, inviting him as a guest of honour. The spotlight shone on this unassuming hero, emphasizing the resilience and courage that can emerge from the depths of ordinary individuals in times of crisis.
