Okay saw this stuff and thought it best to share it with you guys enjoy!

When we hear the word “hero” we usually think of adults who fought in battle or otherwise sacrificed their lives for their countries, or who achieved great things that average people like us wouldn’t dare attempt, assuming we even had the capacity. But anyone can be a hero, and that includes young, innocent children. These ten kids showed exemplary bravery, selflessness and heroism, and their courageous acts challenge us to change our understanding of what the word “hero” truly means.

In 2012, an accident in Globe, Arizona almost killed Johaven Gonzalesand his family. They were driving along the highway when their car went off the roadand fell off a mountain cliff. Johaven was with his grandmother, sister and pregnant mother, and while all of them survived they were in need of serious medical assistance.
Johaven called 911, but instead of waiting for the officers to come he decided to climb the steep mountain to seek out help. The officers admitted that had Johaven not climbed the mountain they would have never found his family, since their vehicle was “so far down the mountain.” Officer Michael Fink added, “I know most adults would not have been able to do what he did.” As a reward for his heroism, he was given a Tim Tebow jersey and a bike. Score?
9. Temar Boggs – Freed a Young Girl from Her Abductor

The abductor got scared and decided to let Jocelyn go, who then ran towards Temar and said that “she needed her mommy.” When he was interviewed, Temar said, “It was just out of heart. It wasn’t to get attention or anything. It was just to help somebody in the community, help make sure another little life was okay and make sure her future could be possible.” Then he tipped his hat and disappeared into a sunset, presumably.

In an act of love and bravery, Anaiah pushed her younger sister out of the way and took a nasty hit for her effort.
Anaiah survived, but lost a leg and a kidney. When asked about her act she said, “[Camry] was too young to be hit like this, and if she got hit she wouldn’t hardly be alive. She would be probably gone forever… I love her so much.” Take a minute if you need it.

Timmy Mileswas 12 years old when he saved his siblings from a burning car. In 2011, Timmy’s mom, Gaylynn Miles, took him and his siblings to an isolated area of Cibola County, New Mexico. She forced them to take huge amount of pills before taking the same medication herself. After a few minutes they were all unconcious, and Gaylynn was out of the running for any Mother of the Year awards.
Their car was still running, and after a few hours it caught fire. Timmy woke up before the fire spread throughout the vehicle, but his attempt to extinguish it was unsuccessful. Thinking quickly, Timmy pulled everyone out of the blaze. He and his siblings suffered first-degree burns and smoke inhalation, but they survived. Unfortunately, their mother died, although authorities suspected that Gaylynn was already dead before the car started burning.

During the night of the accident, Angelica got on the ground and crawled outside of her burning house just like Sparkles taught. She then went to a nearby house to ask for help. Her dad was still inside the burning house, but thanks to Angelica’s quick and calm thinking firefighters arrived and rescued her dad.

5. Tom Phillips – Drove a Tractor to Save His Dad from a Bull
Tom Phillipswas 10 years old when he saved his dad from a raging bull. Tom and his dad, Andrew, were looking after their cattle when a bull suddenly attacked them. The animal charged at Andrew and tossed him into the air. Andrew was then mauled by the animal as he lay unconscious on the ground.
Tom knew that he needed to do something or his dad was going to die. He jumped into the family’s tractor and drove straight towards the bull. Tom was forbidden from using the tractor, but given the circumstances we doubt anyone was going to object. He succeeded in pushing away the bull and saving his dad’s life, and Andrew only spent two weeks in the hospital. Even though he was a hero, Tom’s primary concern after the accident was his mom finding out that he drove the tractor. He said, “Please don’t tell mum, she’ll tell me off for driving the tractor.” His mom’s response: “He’s my little hero and I can’t tell you how proud I am of him.”
4. Samantha Christian – Saved Her Family from Their Burning Mobile Home
In 2012, a girl named Samantha Christianfrom Apache Junction, Arizona, managed to save her family from a house fire by staying calm and collected. A portable air conditioning unit in Samantha’s room caught fire, but Samantha didn’t panic — she ran to her mother and siblings and woke them up. Samantha’s mom, Labecaa Christian, poured water on the fire while Samantha worked to save her brother’s lives.
First she dragged eight year old Brendon out of their burning home and into their neighbor’s house. She then went back to save her other brother, Mikey. Samantha tried to wake him up, but he just wouldn’t come to. So without hesitating she “picked him up and threw him” over her shoulder, taking him to safety. Her mother eventually got out alive as well. If not for Samantha’s courage and calm thinking she and her family might have perished, and Mikey would have never had had what we can only assume to be a serious sleeping disorder identified.
3. Alexis Goggins – Used Her Body as a Shield to Save Her Mom
Many of us have heard stories about parents who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their children. But how many of us have heard of children who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their parents? It’s rare, but that’s exactly what Alexis Gogginsdid in 2007. The seven year old used her body as a shield to save her mom’s life from a gunman, Calvin Tillie, who had been dating Selietha Parker for six months before he tried to break up with her with extreme prejudice.
Alexis, Selietha and Calvin were in a car when Calvin took out a gun and shot Selietha in the side of the head. Before he could fire again, Alexis “jumped over the seat” between Calvin and her mom, begging him to stop. He shot the girl six times anyway, but miraculously they both survived while Calvin was later apprehended by the police.
