Wesley Autrey is truly an excellent role model to the society. Not only did he risk his own life to save a stranger's, he was in an extremely frightening situation; plus he has two young girls who need him. He literally had no time to make the decision—he acted upon pure love and courage. What a selfless person he is. The first time when I read about him, and how he had saved the student's life by jumping onto the subway's train tracks when the train was charging at them, it sent shivers down my spine.

If more people have even just 10% of this kind of love and selflessness, what a better world this would be. Wesley is the kind of person who should be mirrored. Just do kind acts; no need to be ones like his, and people will improve greatly. So many people abandon "small" kind acts, making this world dark and harsh.

Wesley should be rewarded at least one million dollars for his heroic action. This is the kind of story that all media should cover. He should appear on all shows, including Oprah. His story should be taught to children.

I wish him and his family the very, very best. I hope he'll have kind and loving people to help him if he is ever in need.

I wish I could have the great honor to meet him and shake his hands someday, and thank him for being such a beautiful human being.

Thank you, Wesley.
