The Health Science classes at Elliott Alternative Education Center teach and certify students in a variety of medical skills, including life saving CPR. One student, Yalda Walid, a junior, used her training in real life to save a customer at the restaurant where she works. Yalda saw a female customer that was struggling and showing signs of choking and the woman's family was panicking. Another person that was with the customer, had tried to hit her on the back to help dislodge the food but was not successful. Yalda knew she had to do something and stepped in to help the struggling woman. Yalda used her CPR training to dislodge the food that had caused the woman to choke. The customer was very thankful for Yalda's quick actions. Way to go Yalda Walid!! We are extremely proud of your actions. #ModestoCitySchools, #CTE, #FutureMedicalCareer

This community service project was submitted to the Lead4Change Challenge and they won! The money will be donated to the Center for Human Services to support its Youth Navigation Center.
