I was on my motorbike on a dark and rainy night in rush hour traffic when a car pulled across into my lane without looking. The next thing I knew, I was lying on the road. When I came to, I became aware of people starting to crowd around me. I’m not sure when Sophia came into the picture, but I do remember she lay down next to me on the road so I could see her face and asked me if I needed her to call somebody. After she called my husband, she came back to hold my hand until the ambulance arrived, which took about half an hour. When she came to visit me at the hospital later that night, she bought me some snacks and magazine and some food for my husband. I think about the selflessness of the hours she so willingly gave up to help someone she’d never met before. Now, in many different situations, I think, what would Sophia do?
