A high school volleyball team noticed their biggest fan, the school janitor, was always cheering loudly at their games, then waiting alone for free rides home at 1 a.m.
So the team came together, raised $9,000, bought him a car, and surprised him with it in front of the entire school.
Proof that kindness and humanity are still very much alive. ❤️
it’s depressing to see our parents getting old while we are still struggling to be stable in life. the guilt feel is strong when we still can't afford the things our parents want or when we are unable to spend time with them since we are so busy with this thing called life.
We need a 4 day, 32 hour work week with livable wages. There is no reason people should be working this much. People need time off to rest and spend time with family and friends.
ladies please don't relax when you are in a relationship, go to gym, do your monthly beauty maintenance, look beautiful and go out with your friends to have fun and continue posting yourself. take care of yourself. don’t let a man make you weak you'll regret it.

My twin sister and I aged out of foster care on the same day at eighteen which sounds like it should mean we had each other and therefore were fine. What it actually means is that two people with nothing faced a system that considers its job complete the moment the clock runs out and wishes you well with the particular indifference of paperwork.
We had a social worker named Miss Charlene who was not assigned to us anymore the day we turned eighteen.
Her caseload moved on and technically so should she have. She did not move on. Showed up at the group home on our birthday with a cake and two folders. Inside each folder was everything she had spent three months quietly assembling. Apartment listings she had called ahead about. Bus routes to the community college. A list of employers who had hired former foster youth and treated them decently. Phone numbers with names attached and notes about who to ask for.
She sat with us for four hours that afternoon going through every page...
Then she wrote her personal cell number on the inside cover of both folders and said use it.
We used it. Many times. More than we probably should have.
She answered every time.
My sister is a registered nurse now.
I run a mentorship program for youth aging out of foster care.
Miss Charlene came to both of our graduations.
Front row.
Same smile both times.
Some guy at the gym every morning 6am.
He takes the 45lb plates, all of them.
He loads one bar and he does one rep and sits for 20 minutes.
Then unloads and he leaves, he does this everyday.
We hated him, and nicknamed him the plate dragon.
People started coming in at 5:45 to beat him. He'd just wait smiling and he would take them at 6.
One rep, sit then leaves.
I finally asked him Bro what are you doing?
I don’t know why some people aspire to work a corporate job. It’s the most overrated thing ever. I never seen so many toxic, backstabbing , manipulative people in one environment
I've tasted being a great employee, and I've also tasted being the hero at work. I highly recommend doing the bare minimum at work, getting paid, and going home.
Working an 8–5 full-day office job is such a trap. You have no time for anything other than work, you come home tired and moody, and then you have to go to bed early just to do the same thing the next day for the next 30 years.
An underrated career cheat code: Be easy to work with. Show up early. Don’t wait to be asked. Push information to your boss. Be reliable and consistent. Don’t gossip, whine, or complain.
Thomas has never been one to hide his doubts, worries, or questions. So after four seasons of wrestling, he knows exactly where to bring his grief: right to Jesus.
