A miracle happened to Emma, an 18-year-old freshman who had just entered college.
[Ema/College student who survived lightning strike: Doctors told me to buy a lottery ticket because I was so lucky.]
On the first day of my exciting college life, lightning struck Emma's chest while walking on the rainy campus.
[Ema / University student who survived being struck by lightning: I did not feel anything at the moment of being struck by lightning.
When I opened my eyes, I was on the ground.]
After being struck by lightning, Emma fell to the sidewalk on the spot.
At the time, she said that the shirt Emma was wearing had all her fronts melted away.
[Ema/College student hit by lightning: When struck by lightning, the clothes melted and the shirt was completely open.]
The lightning struck on the chest rode down Emma's left body, and the smart watch she was wearing on her left wrist exploded, causing burns on her wrist. I wore it.

The electric current then ran down the legs, leaving holes in socks and sneakers.
[Ema / University student who survived lightning strike: I came to my senses and took off my backpack.
But I couldn't feel anything in my legs.
I was so scared because I thought I was paralyzed.]
[Eyewitness/Senior in the same university: I laid Emma down and put an umbrella on her.]
Other senior students passing by just saw the collapsed Emma and ran to support her, and called 911. And Emma was taken to the hospital.
[Eyewitness / senior in the same university: "If it were me, I would have fainted if something like this happened, but you are a stronger freshman than anyone else. It's a tough first day of college, but you can overcome it."]
The doctor reassured me that Emi was struck by lightning. However, he explained that his heart did not stop and he miraculously saved his life.
[Ema's mother: I believe that God did a miracle for our daughter.
There is no other way to explain this incident.]
Fortunately, Emma, who saved her life through her speech, recovered without serious injuries.
