Ellen empowers through kindness, generosity, and and her humor. The talk show host recently accepted the #ALLINCHALLENGE and encouraged others to donate at least $25 to help feed America through charities such as Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, and America's Food Fund (https://www.facebook.com/ellentv/videos/2582581218...). Ellen is not only asking others to do what they can, but she and her wife Portia personally donated $1 million dollars to the cause. Throughout the day, she'll post funny and/or encouraging videos that just may lift your spirit.

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying.
