It’s crazy how things happen so fast. A mom and her twenty-two-month-old were just walking on the beach when a big wave crashed over them, and sent them into the water. Kelly Slater, a male professional surfer, saw all of this happen, and he immediately went over to help them. He was luckily on land when it happened, instead of surfing. He grabbed the mom and her child out of the water, and they were fine. Kelly Slater made a big difference in the lives of the mom and her twenty-two-month-old, who still had a long life ahead of him. God makes amazing people like Kelly Slater, just a normal man, do amazing things. Kelly Slater was truly a brave person to help the mom and her son because it could have put him in danger, too. …show more content…

Rosenblatt wrote a compelling article about the unidentified man, pointing out how his act not only affected the outcome of his own life, but the lives of the strangers he then rescued.

Because heroes range from Olympians to teachers, not all are famous--in fact, many remain unrecognized.
