all right good morning everybody so today we have a special presentation this is the safety and health committee and for today's presentation we want to honor a young man who i think represents what being a good samaritan is all about um so commissioner garcia my favorite superhero of all time is batman it's you you only on weekends sir but my favorite superhero of all time is batman and the reason that batman's my favorite superhero is because he doesn't have any superpowers it's literally just a man who is trying to be good and trying to do the good trying to do the right thing and takes it upon himself to try to save as many people as possible um there's a great story in the bible about the good samaritan which is somebody who simply helps a neighbor who is in need and that brings me to the young man that we're going to honor today because santiago is 14 years old and he goes to bowman ash and he was at the park in october october 22nd he was at the park and he heard and noticed that there was a terrible car accident that took place now in that car accident there was a unfortunate flip over and there was just a devastating crash most adults that are not trained would see this and they would panic santiago did not panic what this young man did is he sprung into action to help a resident of miami-dade county along with everybody that was impacted by this crash what did he do he approached he was able to use training that he learned in movies to take people's pulse and help them out he also was able to help certain individuals that were part of the crash that were very nervous he was able to spring into action calm them down talk to fire rescue and gave the proper directions so that lives could be saved that day and so santiago you are an inspiration to everyone in miami-dade county i'm seeing your mom here i'm sure that she is very very proud of you but we are all as a county very proud of you because not a lot of young people not a lot of old people not a lot of people will spring into action during an emergency to help others that says a lot about your character and it says a lot about the type of person that you are please never change i don't know if you guys want to say some words yeah just congratulations and thank you for your service honestly i think uh the chairman said it best um very rarely does anyone jump to help anyone and
