'All I said was 'Come quick.' I didn't explain to her what was going on, but she came quick. 

'I said, 'Our teacher fell' when we were on the way up,' he said.

'My dad helped me because he taught me to help others, and if I didn't help, I knew that like that could have ended badder [sic] than it happened,' he explained. 

Mulou, who is now doing well, said Max was very brave' during her ordeal.

'I didn't know what was going on. I just thought I was having like a nausea wave and then I'm sure it was very scary for my students who were actually paying attention to the lesson while I was teaching it,' she told WLBT3. 

'He was calm and collected it seemed the whole time from what I was told. He did everything he was supposed to do in a situation like that,' she said. 

Max received a commendation for his bravery from the school superintendent on Monday night.
