Stories where one person reached out to help another in a time of need.

This story is about two unsung heroes.

I don't even know if it was a man or a woman.

Someone I will probably never know.

My eighth grade English teacher, My Unsung Hero.

Today's story comes from Liyabata.

It was 1994 and I was 20 years old.

I had stayed for the summer at my college campus in Connecticut

just to work in the library and earn some money.

And a few of my friends had stayed as well.

So one night I was over at a friend's house and decided to walk home.

It was about 2.30 in the morning and I had to walk quite a distance

from one end of the campus to the other.
