It appalls me how much negative news is on lately. It is impossible to turn on any news channel and not see some new allegation against Trump or Clinton, hear about deaths around the world, or how bad the economy is. I finally became so sick of seeing such bad news I researched some good news and was pleasantly surprised with what I found.
A victim of Louisiana flooding recently found himself in a strange turn of events when he won a 1 million dollar lottery.
Stories like that make me feel better about the world. I am a huge believer in karma, both good and bad, and this story just proves that it is out there.
A barbershop in Michigan is giving a discount on cuts for kids that read aloud during their haircut.
As a future educator this makes me so happy that literacy and reading skills are being encouraged to be practiced outside the classroom. I hope this starts a trend that others will jump on board with!

This type of store has two purposes. First, it reduces the possibility of food going bad after not being sold. Secondly, it eases the mind of those who cannot afford the everyday necessities. With poverty being a serious issue in this country as well as many others, it is important that this store be taken into consideration as an option for low-income families.
These are just a few of the stories that are available on the good news section of the Huffington Post. It is worth a look at if you’re ever sick of the depressing news out there.
