Lacey Holsworth was an 8-year-old girl, who had suffered from cancer.She was a very strong, outgoing, and selfless girl. She went to visit MSU to watch a basketball game when her and the team formed a great bond, especially with Adreian Payne. Lacey was MSU's #1 fan and biggest supporter. Adreian and Lacey got very close, into a brother and sister kind of bond.She was clear of cancer as of scans, but it came back and the second time she couldn't fight it away anymore and she passed away. Her funeral service and memorial was held in MSU's basketball arena and there was a video made of memories and all of the guys on the team and her mother said a few words for her.
This is a powerful story. A little girl who fought cancer twice became such an inspiration to the whole MSU basketball team, and soon after that to the whole world. I give her major props for staying so strong and always keeping a smile on her face even when she never knew how much longer she would be around. This is so inspiring, when media makes people think people in fame don't do the good things they could, this proves the exact opposite. It just goes to show that people don't change just because they become successful in life.

Pre-Prom Remembrance of "NeNe" After Being Shot
http://www.mlive.com/news/saginaw/index.ssf/2014/05/wouldve_been_her_prom_year_fam.html
Tonquinisha "NeNe" McKinley was a 17 year-old female who got shot in Saginaw by a stray bullet a few hours before prom in 2013. In remembrance of NeNe, her family and friends all gathered at NeNe's mother's home on May 22 before prom to give NeNe's mother the prom experience her and her daughter never got to have. A cousin of the family dressed like a "rockstar" with RIP on one shoe and NENE on the other, representing what NeNe wanted as her prom.
Prom is suppose to be a fun experience and something you won't ever forget. But it isn't suppose to be something that you are suppose to remember in a bad way. It puts people in shock knowing that this could happen. If it were me, I would be devastated and wouldn't want to go to prom. NeNe's family is strong for doing what they are doing, and doing things for her, even when she has past away.

The final ban will cover the first domestic game of next season. Ramires' season is not over as long as Chelsea remains in the Champion League. Mourinho and Faria both also got FA disciplinary after confronting the referees.

Blind man saved by his dog
http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/blind-man-struck-subway-says-dog-saved-my-life-v21944182
A blind man walked over the edge of the subway even with warning from his guard dog. The man had then fainted, and his dog tried to pull him up, but they were both struck by the subway. Luckily the motorman saw them and tried slowing the train down. Neither of them were seriously hurt.
It's remarkable already that animals can be trained to help people in need, but it's even crazier to think that they could save a life. It seems that even when you feel like you have no people to help you, you will always have a dog or animal.

Who knew a dog could save a life?

Lesley Hailwood was eating chocolate when a piece got lodged into her throat and she could barely breathe. Her dog saw her struggling and knew he needed to help. That's what he was trained for. Lesley was laying down on her couch struggling to get a breath and her dog pounced on her chest to dislodge the chocolate. It worked! She says if it wasn't for her dog she wouldn't be alive today.
This is heroic in such a weird way! It's a great thing that the dog was there with her. They say dogs are a man's best friend and I'd have to say this story just proves that point even more. Coming from a person that loves dogs already, it just goes to show that they are great animals.

On Friday, June 28, 2013 there was a lightening strike in Arizona, and it started a fire which just started to get bigger. They hadn't seen a fire this big since 1966. It started as an acre of fire, and by the middle of the next day it was 8 acres long. Before they could get it completely out it was 500 acres! It put people and their homes in danger; it also put whole communities in danger.
This is crazy! When you think of a fire you think of a little bonfire or a house fire, but in this case it was 500 acres! That is huge! It would be a very horrific thing for the people by it and the people that were affected by it. It would also affect the economy and the loved ones of the people it was by. It is a truly devastating thing, now those communities have to completely rebuild themselves.

Spring Break Binge Drinking
http://www.azfamily.com/news/Binge-drinking-big-problem-for-students-on-spring-break-in-Cancun-197865791.html
During spring break in Cancun, students go all out partying. Most all students are already drinking before noon, and are drunk within a couple of hours. Two students in the article explain that you need to have self control, and most students don't have it during Spring Break. Chris Palumbo says that if he were to go out in the ocean then he wouldn't be coming back if he had too much to drink.
To me, people that are spring breaking need to make sure they have someone with them that can watch over them and make sure that nothing will happen. I also agree with the two students saying they need self control. If students had self control during spring break I feel like there would be a dramatic drop in fatalities and injuries or even problems in general.
