\nTrue heroes are appearing all over the world, every single day.\u00a0 You don’t need superhuman magical powers to be a hero and 14 year old, Marcos Ugarte is proving it.\u00a0 Note: This story is even better when you play the theme music below while reading \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
It all happened recently in a quiet neighborhood in Oregon.\u00a0 A fire broke out at Alex Ma’s house.\u00a0 Alex’s 8 year old son Cody, got scared and locked himself inside of a bedroom in the house.\u00a0 All attempts to open the door proved futile as the smoke rapidly filled the house.\u00a0 Alex tried several times to open the door and yell to his child, but the smoke was too think for him to stand up. Suzanne Ma, Cody’s mother, made the frantic call to 911.<\/p>\n
This is where the hero stepped in.\u00a0 Marcos Ugarte heard screaming down the road and saw the growing flame.\u00a0 He immediately knew what to do.\u00a0 Marcos ran down the street to help.\u00a0 In Marcos’ own words:<\/p>\n
“When I arrived at the door of our neighbor’s house, he [Alex Ma] was stumbling down the stairs because he had been completely engulfed in flames.\u00a0 He had soot coming out of his nose and his mouth, he had just ingested so much of it.”<\/p>\n
Marcos saw a nearby ladder and took action.\u00a0 “I took the ladder, and I propped it up on the window, and I crawled up the window and punched the screen out and grabbed the 7-year-old boy — about 7, he looked 7 — and grabbed him and carried him down the ladder”, Marcos said.<\/p>\n
What a rescue!!!\u00a0 He is rightfully being hailed as a hero.\u00a0 The local fire department is planning on honoring him later this year.\u00a0 Amazing!<\/p>\n

Peace & Love,<\/p>\n
