This motivated young man, Welles, had dreams that he never gave up on. He was a team supporter and always found the good in everyone. He had the courage on 9/11 to save 12 lives and was finally able to be the firefighter he has always striven to be. Welles family was more than thrilled to know he achieved his goal of rescuing lives and putting out flames. Our advice is to create goals and to never lose sight of them because you will never know when it will be too late.
Just a little pep talk from kid president to brighten your day. Be great and strive to be even better.

Recently we have lost an alumni of our high school due to some unnatural causes at too young of an age. We now aim to let others know they are never alone. No matter how alone you feel, look around and I am sure you can find a helping hand. We are all gathering next Thursday to release balloons in honor of his birthday. It is inspiring how 100's of people will come together in a community to share memories about a beloved descesed friend,family, or accquiantence.

This story will inspire many athletes who feel as if they cannot get enough energy to go to practice that day. It is for the students who complain about attending everyday practice or of having too many matches,games, or meets. Always remember that you can achieve anything no matter what condition you are in. Always strive to do better! 
Amelia Dickerson isn't afraid of what she can't see. She triumphs in it.
Last Saturday, Dickerson completed Denver's Colfax marathon, turning in a respectable time just a hair over three and a half hours, according to CBS Denver.
In August, she ran a record-breaking 5k. And in November 2013, she completed the New York City Marathon.
Those are respectable accomplishments in their own right -- significantly more so after you realize Dickerson has been blind since age 14, when a car accident robbed her of her sight. "I'm pretty tenacious," a relentlessly optimistic Dickerson said in an interview before the NYC Marathon. "It doesn't feel good to give up."
Dickerson runs in collaboration with Lending Sight and Achilles InternationalColorado -- two groups that support impaired athletes in their pursuits.
Of course, Dickerson is far from the only visually impaired runner out there inspiring others. Earlier this month, MLive featured an article on 15-year-old Michigan runner Austin Keeler, a blind middle schooler who's determined compete just like everyone else.
What gives Keeler the courage to sprint down the track?
"I just get brave and do it," he says, "and I never quit."
