6 . A quick scan of any social media will confirm something everyone already knows: People love inspirational quotes. We pick them up and share them from a variety of places, whether they come from the brilliant Maya Angelou, reminding us to “Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better,” or live on a T-shirt that you proudly wear, proclaiming “I have superpowers… I TEACH!”
Every educator knows that words matter a whole lot! A thoughtless comment about another canceled school day can feel very personal to a teacher who shows up every day. Hearing a simple “thank you” for all that you do from a family member can fill your tank and keep you going even when you’re tired. Encouragement and kind words are especially important in times of hardship or self-doubt. So, reading a great quote reminds us of who we are or who we expect to be.
Since we couldn’t physically bring together the educators from all over the country, we asked you to send us the inspirational quotes that you most wanted to share with your fellow teachers. We hoped that you would share quotes that would provide a much-needed pick-me-up and reenergize those who may be feeling tired. You didn’t disappoint! In 24 hours, we received over 1,000 responses.
Some were very timely.
★ “Spread kindness, not germs.” (Some were timeless.)
★ “If you can dream it, you can do it.” (Some were very practical.)
★ “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” (Arthur Ashe. And others were just about remembering how awesome you are.)
★ “YOU ARE DOING AMAZING, SWEETIE” (Kris Jenner).
So why do we love inspirational quotes? Because, in a way, reading them is kind of like having a conversation with a really great friend who always cheers you on to be the very best you. So, remember this.

Could the Moon Help Fuel the Earth?
Fossil fuels have been powering the earth for over 200 years, but reserves of coal, crude oil (原油) and natural gas may run out one day.

But
“Sophie would make a good therapy(治疗) dog.”
The day my dog trainer said those words, I didn’t even know what a therapy dog was. I certainly had no idea what features my little dog had that would make her a candidate. But why not, I thought, if we can help people in need of some cheering up?
Last week, I accompanied Sophie to a hospital for our first day on the job. In the year and a half I had spent getting her certified, I had learned what to expect. I would bring Sophie into a patient’s room to be a pleaser, and then we would move on. Of course, Sophie herself couldn’t understand her purpose in all of this, but she was always happy to meet new people, and that was enough.
We walked through the wide automatic sliding glass doors and into the hall, where we were met by a nurse who ran the therapy dog program at the hospital. “Welcome,” Sophie, she said. “I’ll be taking you two around today.”
I followed the nurse down the hall. Sophie trotted (小跑) along at my side, just as she had been trained. “We’re a care unit,” the nurse explained. “Most of our patients are seniors.” I knew how important it was for Sophie to be her gentlest. “She was trained and ready for this, I reminded myself.
Up ahead was an old lady making her way down the hall with a walker. A nurse walked beside her, holding on to a gait belt (步态训练带)to keep her steady. We caught up with them, but the patient remained focused on her walker. As we were passing by at a safe distance, the lady turned her walker towards a chair against the wall. “Okay, we’ll stop for a rest,” her nurse said. Once the lady was settled, she pointed a finger at Sophie, as if to say “Please bring me that dog.”

10 . As a younger child, Adom didn’t have a choice in how much he volunteered since he was regularly along with his parents while they volunteered. They organized book drives for kids, joined backpack giveaways, served food to the hungry and delivered Christmas presents to children with imprisoned parents.
Now Adom, who lives in Spartanburg, South Carolina, is a teenager. He has a lot more to say in what he does with his time. He’s recently taken his volunteerism to a new level.
Over the past three years, he has raised over $70,000 for nonprofit groups in his area. He had done in part by organizing annual charity basketball games involving local community leaders, as well as college and professional athletes. Adom named his project Ball4Good.
Adom was recently awarded a 2019 Gloria Barron Prize for Young Heroes, which honors outstanding young leaders. As one of 15 top winners, he was awarded $10,000. He’s putting half towards the charity he founded and the rest towards his college fund.
Since 2017, Adom and Ball4Good have supported 18 community organizations, including the local Boys & Girls Clubs of the Upstate; Miracle Hill Ministries, which serves homeless children and adults in South Carolina; the Project Hope Foundation, which provides services for individuals of all ages with autism (自闭症); and the Children’s Advocacy Center of Spartanburg, Cherokee and Union, which helps children who have been abused.
Adom does more than just deliver the cash; he gets involved, just as he did as a younger kid. He is the youngest board member for the Boys Girls Clubs of the Upstate and continues to volunteer at other organizations, such as Children’s Cancer Partners of the Carolinas, which supports families of youths fighting cancer.
“Books, fundraisers, summer camp services, national spelling bees — Adom is doing a lot,” said Greg Tolbert, president of the Boys Girls Clubs of the Upstate.
