*dials 911*

Well, I recieved a bit of a wake up call today.
I have a hard time finding faith, but you already knew that if you know me at all, but something happened today.
Right at the end of school today I am a little late to leave and everyone except my friend William and my teacher is gone. I'm packing up my laptop and someone runs in the room,
Kid: SOMEONE IS HAVING A SEIZURE IN THE PARKING LOT!
Teacher: What? A seizure!
Kid: *runs out* CALL 911!
Teacher: Greg, Willy go outside I'll get the school director!
I run outside to the parking lot with the teachers from the nursing department running past me toward a group of people and all of a sudden I get an Unknown Origin (A burst of muffled hearing and blurred vision that lasts less than a second) and subconsciously take out my phone.
The student (John) had started having a seizure while walking up the concrete stairs (that lead to the student parking lot) The nursing dept was helping him and his face was bleeding and he was rolling all over the ground screaming and trying to sit up. It was chaos. I was the first to call 911 and an ambulance arrived within minutes.
By the time the ambulance arrived John was sitting up and was able to calmly respond to the teachers and then the paramedics. So I think he will make out just fine. He was taken away in the ambulance.
While I was driving home I thought....................
Here I am screaming and pouting over things I can't fix, wasting all my energy on dumb shit........
and this kid is having a seizure and hell, he could have died. What if he left school early? There is no one out there and really no windows looking out to the parking lot nor are there cameras. There would have been no one to notice him.
Ok.... I get it.... stop wasting my energy on this dumb shit....cause life is too short to just live it in rage.
I can't say I'm 100% calm now. But I'm not overheating anymore at least.
*phew* What a day.

Its always a wakeup call when you experience a life threatening situation, but its always good to remember to be thankful for the life you have, no matter the current conditions it could be worse. So appreciate everything you have :)
