- A principal performed life-saving CPR after a student collapsed and stopped breathing. Jody Sowards says he wasn’t sure what was going on when a colleague told him he needed to come help a student. Timothy Johnson, an eighth-grader, was participating in a basketball exercise when he started feeling unwell. He left the gymnasium and went to sit in the hallway, hoping to recover, but he went unconscious and fell to the floor. Inside Edition Digital’s Mara Montalbano has more.
You can see in the principal's eyes that he's the right kind of educator you want in your child's life. He really cares...kudos to you!
Yes!!❤❤❤

Imagine if the student didn't survive 😂😂
@@penelopephelange imagine if you grew up with loving parents 😂😂
Poor kid was probably terrified. What a hero. Bravo.
Was he terrified?
@@Vjl5280 So sorry you had to go through that Victor. I hope that you have fully recovered xx
@@fionaroberts1585who named you Fiona that’s foul 😅
@@lemonhead1442 Fiona is a lovely name, Lemon Head. 🙄
@@mychemicalemotions thank you xx
The way the student fell is just heartbreaking to watch glad he is okay

Things like this make me happy that I took first aid courses in college. You never know when you gotta be the guy to jump in and possibly save a life.
Sucks when you don't save the life though. Be prepared for that.
I thought it was common practice for school employees to have first aid, CPR and AED training. maybe that's just in a few places but that should be the standard for everyone no matter the profession
I always wonder why it is not mandatory for people to start learning this as soon as they start school (adapting what can be done for each age and physical strength, obviously!). Teaching just how to call the emergency is not enough, we need to know these things precisely to ensure that the sick/injured person has a greater chance of surviving
Is it not mandatory for at least teachers to get training
@@Camilla3721 ur mom
This man is a hero!! He responded like he needed to and stayed calm while helping the boy. He did everything right!! What a amazing story. I’m so happy the boy is okay!!
Absolutely. What a great man. And you can see he loves his students.
"the boy"
@@scorpiocara6798?
@@Anonymous-hv2zc what
All of em did the young man could have been laying there without notice Salute.
This is a honorable man who believes that everyone deserves to live. Thank God for him and that boy still being alive.
No one asked
@@Camilla3721 imagine having a stable family
Istg these two trolls always wanna ruin stuff
@@Camilla3721 you must be a loser to type this lol
Amen
You know how incredible this is? A survival rate for CPR is like 5% outside of hospitals, but it's better than nothing, great work
Really? Only 5% that’s a lot lower than I thought
@@maxfr142 not a lot of people know CPR, or if they do they don’t do it properly
Just looked it up and it’s closer to 10% survival rate according to the American Heart Association. Because people don’t know that basic chest compressions is all it takes to keep someone going while waiting for EMS. So sad. My entire family should know how to do this due to my parents health issues yet none of them do except me 🙃 and most of them don’t see it as important to learn.
@@AandM8 my folks don't either because they don't want to have to die all over again and they have a do not resuscitate order
@@Former_Pastor
That's sad. Thanks to quick action by my building maintenance man who found me and first responders who quickly arrived I am alive today after suffering a cardiac arrest, kidney dialysis and 3 days on life support. I am happier now than before due to having a whole new perspective on life .😊
This principal is a hero he needs a raise ❤🙏thank god the boys he's OK❤❤
Who gives the principala raise?
It’s not about money alm the time it’ s about the satisfaction of saving a life helping when no one else knows what to do but stand there and lokk while the person is possibly dying in front of them
I took a cpr course twice because my dad has Coronary Artery disease and is prone to heart attacks, so far me and my mom haven’t had to give him cpr but we need to be prepared should we have to. This principle is a hero
Everyone should learn how to do it. Even if you don't get re-certified. My sister and I took a course, too. My best to you and your family.
I had a friend pass away from what appeared to be a stroke. She had a known heart murmur but the day she suffered an episode, no one around her knew what to do. Her family panicked and it was during COVID and they lived out in the country so the paramedics took forever. She had been without oxygen too long and was brain dead once she got to the hospital. She was only 23. She was my age. I think everyone should take time to learn what to do, because this could have given her more time.
@@cantfiteveryheart I agree..
@@christopherhubbard256 my mother is 79 and has a DNR order. If she drops nobody is allowed to touch her or she'll sue, so beware
@@SUGAR_XYLER Thank you. I really haven't thought about that. Does she wear a bracelet or something so people know of it? If not, she should. Everyone who has a DNR should wear one.
I almost cried when they showed the student
He seems like such a sweet kid, I can't imagine how scary the situation must've been, thank God for people like him.
I'm glad that the principal was able to keep his student alive until help arrived and take him to the hospital. I hope that the student fully recovers and is able to return back to school. I would do the same thing if someone isn't breathing but I may need to learn how to do CPR correctly.
To the beat of "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee-Gees, press with your whole body weight 2 inches deep using the heel of your hands.
@@o_kneepixel
Ty for this lol! I haven’t learned hands on CPR but I’ve seen videos on it. A doctor once said that doing CPR with the ‘stayin’ alive’ beat really helps tho.
Ironically, "another one bites the dust" is another good one for it@@biancaisidk
There plenty of places that offer Free CPR classes to anyone wishing to learn, I was trained by my local sheriff's office as a Detention Officer, at church I was called to another classroom during the Sunday service because they knew I had the training. A 6 year old girl had choked on a nickel, I directed 911 to be called, more like Ordered it, then explained quickly what I was going to do to the young girl and performed the Heimlich maneuver and she swallowed the nickel, but she was breathing very well and was alert the entire time. I went into a room crying as the children's pastor prayed with me. She is alive and well today thank God!! My training kicked right in with no thought of what to do next!!!
Not all heros wear capes.

Well he had a cape on in that photo at the end lol 😂😂😂😂😂
I was like wtf is that
@@Camilla3721 u posting negative comments everywhere. Y u so negative. I hope you have a better day
Much respect to this Principal for his act of kindness and life-saving CPR. I hope he will be rewarded.
I want him as my principal, he seems so kind, loyal, brave, trustworthy and hardworking.
Thank God for this principal being in the right place at the right time.
Performing CPR is EXHAUSTING. Your everyday person probably wouldn’t be able to keep going long enough. The fact he kept going until help arrived shows he wasn’t gonna give up on that kid. 10/10 principal
“Always give it your all” that sign is clearly a motto for this man because he gave it his all to save this young man. Amazing!
Tears in my eyes. I'm so glad that principal was there that day! Waiting for the AED or paramedics may have been fatal. God bless you, Mr. Sowards. And, Timothy, I'm so glad you're okay!
I love the "always give it your all" message in the background. It's fitting for this hero Principle👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I can’t think under stress… what a hero
Never say never think positive may save a life one day
Thank God for the principal and I wish the young man a long and healthy life!
this is the kind of educator i would want at my kids school omg that was beautiful im so glad the kid is ok & i hope he's recovering well!! bless that principal & the kid 🥺🥺
This here is why teachers/principals should go through a first aid class (and keep their cert updated) My school actually had the machine encased in glass for people with no pulse. Idk what it's called but it was always near a gym.
defibrillator! everyone should learn basic first aid/cpr and how to use an AED, you never know when you might need it
Wow this principal deserves a job upgrade immediately!
Who cares
@@Akari787 don't you get tired switching accounts to be edgy and like your own comments? Lol
@@Camilla3721you clearly do switching accounts so edgy 😝✌️
That's just a good man through and through. Someone to be admired.
Yo bro who got you smiling like that?
Me: seeing kind , supportive, thoughtful people etc.
Peace & love & respect y'all
What could cause a seemingly healthy 8th grader to have an artery not pumping enough blood. A blood clot? What on Earth could have cause that guys?
Real hero that's for facts I'm glad he helped the way he did he saved life
So many footballers have suddenly Collapsed like this young man in U.K. football , i truly hope he fully recovers and goes on to bright things
Brazilians collapsed as well.
@@superdukez6327 true
Thank God and all praises to him and his family. Principle Sowered did the right thing. Never stop doing CPR until the ambulance arrives.
This makes me get more faith in humanity
Ok?
Nobody asked.
I live in this community and one of their students just drowned in a river it’s nice to see that they have recovered and done great things
Where is it
A teen in my city fell and died in the river that runs through downtown, years back.
Kudos to the principal..I am so happy the young man is fine.
"Don't take life for granted". Wise words.
The principal literally gave his all
Based on all the horrific stories I’ve heard this week/ year about principles and teaches abusing, using the N word towards children of color; YES, I do consider him a hero, an angle, a real American grown azz man. God Bless him & his family.
A very grown Azz man!!
@@tiffanycunningham3409 A grown AZZ superman 🦸♂️ 🙌🏼
@@shayvidatv why I scream yesssss lol
i laughed out loud when I read “grown azz man” so random 😂
@@timelessstone6835 Heyy! The superlative’s use is because, a lot of men conflate being rude, being a bully & even engaging in criminal activity, with being tough; being a man.
I always tell people, being an azzhole doesn’t make you tough, it only makes you an azzhole. So I wanted people to appreciate what a real man looks like i.e. “grown azz man”
I’m willing to say the same thing for women too but with additional conjecture based on sociology and spirituality.
so glad this principle acted upon instinct and didn’t just panic
This is so scary. Great job to the man! He’s a life saver, legit!
Heros all round us! 🇺🇸God is good! See that amazing new equipment that keeps CPR Going while be transferred
@@TheWicked4727 imagine having a family that loved you🤣
So happy this kid made a comeback!!!
As a school nurse, this made me cry. That poor boy. Great job the staff that helped
Give this man a raise for saving the student's life.
Him saying "it's not hero worthy, because it's something I'm supposed to do! " Is exactly why he's a HERO ❤️❤️❤️
Thank God first,then this guy whom God has send.
Amen
Goosebumps. Thank you Sir
Wow somebody in the educational system that's not completely useless good job principal
Thank You Jesus for putting this principal in the right place to help this young man.❤
This is why everyone should know cpr!
He’s a true hero for the kids
a principals job is to protect there students, but this one, saved his life. has me in tears
Give that man a raise! Also, you’d think the coaches know CPR!
This is why I got my work to pay for and keep my first aid and CPR certification updated every three years. I hope I'll ne er have to use it. Thank God for this man and his staff.
Bless this man and the other teachers helping this young man
That's why it's better to know CPR anyways he saved a young man's life
I'm so happy that he will be okay! Thank you to the principal and all heroes who step up to help.
GOD BLESS THIS MAN.
GREAT ACTION. 👍👌
You saved that boys life. As a mother watching this video I want to say thank you. 😊
Great story! Kudos to the principal, and wishing the young man a complete and speedy recovery.
This makes me so happy. Sending love and gratitude
Go principal Sowards may God bless you for your quick actions * the other teachers or ppl who helped as well..May God keep his hands on the young man
* and his family 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank god for his heroism and selflessness!
You're right God is good you're at the right place at the right time and may God keep blessing you and your fellow student
I love the "Always give it your all" sign in the background of the principal's office
God bless them both🙏
He even wore a cape. Well done principal
And had been anywhere else he may not have survived. Bless your heart!
Praise God that this young man is ok🙌✝️💜. And kudos to the Principal and others who helped him. Beautiful to see people help each other. God's Love and Blessings.
God bless you.
All schools should have personnel trained for emergencies like this and proper resuscitation equipment.
Thank goodness he went to the hallway and not the locker room. Coaches should have lids rest in the gym and not leave so you can keep an eye on them. 💕
Thank god for this man. Many other people would of just walked by like so many people do
What a hero!
Just like his sign behind him said, “Always give it your all” Is exactly what that principal did til help arrived
Good for you sir !!!!!! You saved a life !!! God bliss you and the young man ...
Yes it is something you're supposed to do and you did a fantastic job. He assessed the situation, did a medical assessment and then started CPR.
Beautiful story: thankful for all who helped this young man! 💟
You can see the true compassion through his eyes. 🙏🙏🙏
This made me cry I have 7 sons and to know this man did this warms my heart wby because of the world we live in so I commend you and may God forever bless you
Good Principal saved a child's life, Praise the Lord for his action!
Poor baby, glad someone helped him in time. Thank God and thank the principal.
That headteacher is a hero and I know that kid is lucky and grateful for save his life!
Poor baby fell on that floor hard i pray he recovers well and i appreciate the principal
The way he fell was really scary. So glad he's okay
Poor baby, I hope he’s doing okay! This pulls my heart strings, as a mother I want to say thank you! Because that could of gone horribly wrong if everyone just stood and watched
With great things like this happen at school on videotapes. There should always be videotapes provided with any and everything that happens at school
God is a faithful God. He restore that mother and father's son
Always give it your all!!
Wow u extended one more life. Such humble heart👍🏿
We need people like him in this life!! Thank for all that you do♥️
We need more people like this Principal. That is all
So terrifying! Thank goodness he's okay!
CPR is hard. You have to give the right amount of pressure, too much or too little is a killer.
Seeing him hug the principal got me all teary eyes. Beautiful moment
Well done. This is what a principle truly is. A role model, a man not hesitating for a second to help.
God Bless him, I’m glad this young man was saved and it’s alive. And I do hope he got a raise!! All School staff members should be capable of performing CPR if needed
Thank You for saving this young man's life!
This really brought tears to my eyes. I’m glad that he is alive and okay. Huge shout out to the principal !!!
this brought me to tears! Bravo for this principal. So happy this teen is doing well.
I am so glad he is alive. I hope he gets the help he needs. Prayer for him and his family
He a hero
