Today, the AWESOME is in Ankeny, Iowa. Carter Luetje changed a life and saved a life simply by starting a conversation with a fellow student. Carter was just being Carter and striking up a conversation. What he didn’t know at the time was the student he was talking to was ready to take his own life. Officials later confirmed this, but Carter’s small gesture of kindness made the student reconsider. Monday, Carter was recognized for his life-saving act. Carter said he was just glad that his classmate is now thriving and that it’s important to be kind because you just don’t know what people are going through. His story serves as a powerful reminder that kindness— even in its simplest form— can make all the difference, and Carter, THAT’S AWESOME.
