Following a health scare at school, a history teacher is recovering.

According to Cleveland 19 News, Adam Compton experienced a heart attack on November 7 at a skate club he supports with his MacArthur High School pupils in San Antonio, Texas.

According to the source, Compton, 46, began feeling “out of it” while he skated with the youngsters before passing out.

While dialing 911, student Aidan Anthony-Gonzalez and classmate Steven Amaro rushed toward the AED [automated external defibrillator]. Meanwhile, other students enlisted the assistance of school athletics trainer Amanda Boyd to resuscitate Compton, according to the site.

According to KSAT 12, Amaro, a high school student, had only recently received ADR-CPR certification.

“I unpacked everything, placed the pads on him, and then the paramedics arrived, and I relinquished control to them,” the teenager told the media. “I never expected to have to do it in person. And it’s a once-in-a-lifetime event that no one should ever experience.

Boyd told Cleveland 19 News about the incident: “I turned [Compton] over and looked for a pulse, and I couldn’t find one, so I knew he needed CPR.”

Amaro told the magazine that Boyd delivered the jolt that “revived” Compton. Shortly after, EMS arrived and admitted the instructor to the intensive care unit.

Speaking to KSAT 12, Compton remembered, “I asked one of the students next to me, ‘How long have I been out?'” They responded, ‘A few minutes.’ There was nothing after that. From that point on, I awoke in the hospital.

Following his release from the hospital, he resumed his studies. “I’m still realizing how limited my prospects were,” Compton told Cleveland 19 News.

While the instructor has not yet returned to skating, he told KSAT 12 that he expects to do so soon.

“We had Thanksgiving not long after that, and I think the thing that I kept experiencing not long after that over that holiday was looking at my wife and kids and just thinking, ‘I almost didn’t have this,'” Compton reported.
