A 15-year-old girl who stopped an out-of-control school bus she was riding on was handed a Saturday detention instead because she was skipping school.

Marina High School student Amanda Rouse was on a bus with 40 elementary school students Wednesday morning when the driver fell out of her seat after a turn and hit her head.

Rouse jumped up and applied the brakes, bringing the bus to a halt after striking two parked cars. No one was injured.

She said had asked the bus driver for a ride because she felt sick at school.

"She is in trouble with school because she made the wrong decision," said Rouse's grandmother, Sally Correll. "But I can't help but believe that she was where God wanted her to be."

A spokesperson for the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District could not immediately be reached Saturday.

I think it was GOD's plan to use her to protect everyone on the bus. So the school issuing her a detention is still reasonable. They're doing what is right to discipline the children, yet they may not know it might have been GOD's plan to have her there at that time, at that precise moment. What's the chances she was actually cutting school on purpose and just happens to be in a moment where she did a hero's task? I think it was all in GOD's plan, praise Him for that!

See, the little things that GOD does are still so big when you acknowledge His love and care for us. Even when we're not thinking of Him, He is thinking of us.

Amen, we serve a mighty and loving God.
