If you ever get on the internet at any time in the day you will be treated to 2 common things negative news , and the common troll. However, once in a while, you may be able to get on the internet and find that single glimpse of hope that brings a smile to your face as well as something that may bring you to feeling you normally can't get from the internet. One day I was looking on my Facebook profile and my brother shared a video with me, normally I watch everything my brother sends to me, so I decided to take the time and watch it. In the video a man with cerebral palsy walking with a walker while having a phone taped to his chest. At first to be 100% honest I was really discomforted by knowing that my brother sent it to me to make me laugh. This discomfort is what I feel when I see someone with a disability or some type of handicap and I was about to close out of the video, however when I decided to stick through to the end, and let me say I am so glad I did. Every so many steps he took he would stop and say a little funny and inspirational line that cheered me up and in the final moment of his video he said these words.



" Remember you can't spell Miles without smile so maybe you should start with that, cause that makes the road ahead look so much brighter"-Zach Anner



"Remember you can't spell Miles without smiles so maybe you should start with that, cause that makes the road ahead look so much brighter". When the video ended I sat there for a little bit soaking in what I just watch and wondering , was there more? I proceeded to look him up and found out his name is Zach Anner. He is a Youtuber, book writer, comedian and more. After I found his youtube channel I proceeded to watch his videos from his series Work out Wednesday to High Five Fridays all of them was great both to be inspired and to have a great laugh. After watching him for a while I thought to myself "why didn't I want to watch his videos at first? was it because I was uncomfortable? how stupid of an idea was that? regardless of the reason why I didn't want to I am so happy I stayed and watched it. his mix of comedy and determination was remarkable and actually got me to do extra things as well as not to take for granted what I Have. Now Zach has released a book that is called If at Birth You Don't Succeed, I have yet to get the book but I plan on adding it to my small collection of books I love knowing that it will easily be placed there. In the moments of me watching his videos, i feel wonderful, carefree and most importantly inspired by Zach knowing that there is a man out there who has something holding him back , but he will not be held down. I now wait for his new videos knowing that they will bring the same feeling that I felt before. If you have a spare moment and wish to watch a simple video that I know will bring joy to your day ill leave a link to his youtube page cause in my book he is the type of person I needed more in my life and I am sure he is the type you need too.

Zach if this article ever gets the grace of having you see it I just want you to know, you are a great and inspirational person and you make my day in every video you do , please don't stop bringing boundless happiness to my day!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
