THE COACH WHO GAVE EVERYTHING: 💔

Derrick Moore spent 20 years teaching elementary school outside Atlanta. The kids didn't call him "Mr. Moore."

They called him "Coach."

This summer he was standing on a beach in Myrtle Beach when a 10-year-old girl he'd never met got caught in a rip current.

Her name was Summer - and she was going under the waves.

Derrick didn't hesitate.

He swam out to a stranger's child and pushed her toward the other rescuers. He got her out. The same current that let her go took him instead.

His body washed ashore the next day.

He was 47.

He left behind four children of his own.

Think about that.

A man who spent his whole life keeping other people's kids safe in a classroom died keeping one more safe in the water - a girl he'd known for less than a minute.

Summer got to say seven words to his family: "Thank you, I really owe my life to you."

And his mother, who buried her son, said this: "My son is the type of person that would do it again. Even though we lost my son, I'm not mad at anybody."

That's who Derrick Moore was. Not a headline. Not a hashtag. A man who saw a child drowning and decided his own life was the acceptable price.

We spend so much energy arguing about who the good guys are.

Then a schoolteacher walks into the ocean for a stranger and answers the question without saying a word.

Remember his name.

Pray for his four kids.

This is what love looks like when it costs everything.

PRINCIPAL FORCED TO RESIGN AFTER HELPING A HOMELESS STUDENT

Rob Burnside, the former principal of Lakota East High (@EAST_HAWKS) in Ohio, was REMOVED from his position after he housed a 16-year-old homeless student so he could keep attending school.

The teen’s home life was unstable, and he was forced to sleep in a car. His dad’s trailer didn’t have heat, and his mom moved outside the district.

When Rob found out, he took the boy into his home so he could continue attending school.

When the school found out, they threatened Rob with termination.

The student offered to leave the school and his home to protect Rob's job, but Rob REFUSED.

Rob decided NOT to cave to the school's threats, and sacrificed his career to continue supporting Hayes.

Rob and his wife are now Hayes' legal guardians.

Rob and his wife have 6 other children, including 2 adopted ones.

The boy has since graduated and is now working toward becoming an aviation mechanic.

Remote work changed my life more than my salary ever did. The money obviously matters, but the real luxury is no commute, quiet mornings, midday walks, dinner plans after work, and actually having enough energy left to enjoy a life outside of my job.

I feel sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming “It’s ONNNNNN” to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.

No job can ever make me feel bad for using my PTO. People be like I have 709 hours of pto. Good for you, buddy. I have 4 hours and I’m about to use that

It’s annoying that we realize children need a summer break and several vacations a year because they attend school, but we think it makes sense for adults to work 40 hours a week all year and probably get 2–3 weeks off in a whole year if you’re lucky.

Baby is across the room opening up a container of wipes and pulling them all out but I just sat down with a coffee for the first time today and I realized that this moment of peace is worth $5.49

Do you remember when your mom would take you shopping and you would come home and do a “fashion show” for your dad who was half asleep on the couch and he would give you a nod and a “very nice” for every outfit or was that just my family?

[Simons @Simon_Ingari]

Leaving a toxic workplace is a weird feeling… like you’re relieved you’ve finally left, but also annoyed that a perfectly good job has been unnecessarily ruined by a few people creating a horrible work culture.

There are 2 types of people in this world: those who can't relax when there are dishes in the sink and those who don't even notice them.

And they end up marrying each other.
