1. Jennifer Carter (and all Teachers) - Carter's story is an amazing testimony of strength, poise, and emotional control. Our teachers have a hard enough job - and we place this kind of responsibility on their shoulders every day. Pay them more. Respect them. God Bless them.
2. Preeta Pal - In a week of heartbreak that makes the world feel like a crushing vice, we get stories like Pal that inspire you and unveil the strength of the human spirit.
3. Alex Morgan - Morgan, a hero to a generation of women soccer players, will be hanging it up soon. Legend.

1. Georgia School Shooting - Smh. Another one. Because we can't figure out how to stop this. Smh.
2. Rebecca Cheptegei - What a horrific story this is. Such a talented athlete, killed senselessly.
3. 11-Year-Old Murderer - I have no words to explain or describe my thoughts on this. Especially, following another school shooting this week. Who are we raising? Like, seriously?
