I was once walking along the waters edge which was about 8 to 10 feet above the water when I looked down into the water I saw a man bobbing up and down trying to kill himself. I started taking with him and shouted to other people to call the fire rescue department. I grabbed a long stick and kept talking to the man and to grab the stick for I wanted to help him with his problems which I did talk with him. He did hold onto the stick and finally the rescue department came and got him out OK and I went over to him and told him to get the help he needed at the hospital. He thanked me and I left. Just knowing that I saved this mans life was quite a honor knowing he was alive because of my efforts.
