Schoolgirl hero

Schoolgirl hero :

"A FRENCH children's magazine named as its 'Child of the Year' a British schoolgirl credited with saving about 100 tourists at a Thai beach when the tsunami struck last year."

It's a nice thing, as everyone remembers the pain of the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami, for Mon Quotidien to honour the 11 year old English girl , Tilly Smith as the child of the year. I remember seeing Tilly on some of the footage shown last year and not only had she been taught and learnt well, she was able to get that information through to the adults who could take charge of the situation. Her remarkably down to earth and self effacing approach saved all those lives and protected the people in the area from serious injury. Good teachers are invaluable when their students can shoot the arrows straight.
