Rooting for the Underdog/dolphin... and other precious animal videos

“Never tell a young person that anything cannot be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing.” 

                                                                                          - G. M. Trevelyan 


This weekend I saw Dolphin Tale, the story of a young person who did the impossible.

It was one of the most heart-warming movies I have seen in a loooonggg time... all about the story of an underdog, er... underdolphin beating the odds and learning how to swim and live without a tail. All because one little boy believed in her and loved her.

Soo cute.

I highly recommend the movie but, if you can't wait until then, see the amazing dolphin here.



And if that wasn't heartwarming enough, check out these other adorable animal videos :)

1. Otters Holding Hands. Gah! So freakin cute.... you must wait until the end and watch for the kiss!!! 

 

2. Cat Hugs Kitten. I am totally a dog person and have never owned a cat, but still, this is super sweet. 

  

3. The Sneezing Panda. Only 16 seconds long but long enough to make you smile :) 

I hope this brightened your day!

Now go save a dolphin or hug a kitten or something else precious like that ; )

My Heart is Broken... Just like Our School Sysem

Everyone deserves an education.
But some aren't getting it.

Our nation has failure factories,
Rather than a road to success.

The only way into a good public school, for many,
Is a lottery.

Their number being pulled.

LUCK.

Not merit.
Not a test score.
Not motivation or desire.
Not even money.

Just a random number.
Just dumb LUCK.

Wake Up Everybody. 

 My heart is broken.
Just like our school system.

I saw Waiting for "Superman" tonight.

It made me cry.
Kids actually WANT to learn.
And. They. Can't.

Cause someone didn't pull their number in a raffle.

We have reduced children's dreams,

And their potential,
To a number.

Which more times that not,
Isn't called.

What does this mean?

 Our system is failing them.
They are failing.
And our country will be doing the same thing,
If we don't change things.

Please go see the movie. 

It's hard to say this,
But I hope your heart becomes broken too.

So you'll do something to fix it.
And our school system.

Let our children shine.

I'll be writing more soon...
