In Barranquilla, Colombia, a mother's quick thinking turned her into a local hero after she chased down a garbage truck to retrieve her son's school project. The incident, which occurred in 2025, highlights a parent's dedication to their child's education.

Refusing to accept defeat, the 'Super Mom' hailed a motorcycle taxi and embarked on a determined pursuit of the garbage truck. Her efforts paid off when she successfully flagged down the truck and recovered the school project, saving hours of hard work. The heartwarming story quickly went viral, with social media users praising her extraordinary commitment to her son's education in 2025.
