Today, the AWESOME is in Raleigh, North Carolina.  9-year-old Jayceon and 7-year-old Donye were playing basketball at Raleigh Oak Charter School when Donye began choking on a piece of granola bar. With calm and composure that some adults would struggle to have in a situation like this, Jayceon knew exactly what to do. He said, “We were playing basketball, and he ate a granola bar, and we started playing longer until he started choking. I didn’t know he was actually, actually choking, so I just did my thing, which was a Heimlich.” So, where did he learn how to save someone who was choking? You guessed it, the place we all go to learn how to do stuff: YouTube. Proving not all heroes wear capes, Jayceon, THAT’S AWESOME.
