Crossing guard battling breast cancer inspires students by dancing

Bonnie Woodard dances like nobody is watching

BAYTOWN, Texas – It's not every day that you see someone busting some serious dance moves on your way to dropping the kids off at school, but one crossing guard in Baytown is dancing her heart away on the daily.

Bonnie Woodard is battling breast cancer for the second time, but she chooses to smile and dance every single day -- not just to keep her spirits up, but everyone else's, too.

"When I wake up in the morning, I just ask God to fill my heart ... and let me spread it throughout the world," Woodard said.

Woodard definitely dances like nobody is watching. She loves to make everyone smile.

"Misery does not love company, and I don't want to put misery on anybody," she said. "My struggles go every day. I wake up with my struggles, now I'm going throughout my breast cancer. I have my mother, who is going through Alzheimer's and Stage 4 kidney disease and I'm taking care of her." 

Woodard said there is no better way to fight back and get through her struggles than to smile, dance and send out positive vibes.

"There's enough struggles in the world, and nobody else needs to meet mine," she said.
