While it appears that the entire world has lost its mind, there is some actual good news to be celebrated. I enjoy reading .https://goodnewsnetwork.org because I am an eternal optimist and cannot accept the thought that the world is void of good people and good things. God, after all, is in charge, so there has to be some goodness in the world.
I wanted to share with you this incredible story about a ninth grader named Heman Bekele. He attends W.T. Woodson Highschool in Annandale, Virginia. He is the Winner of the 2023 Young Scientist Challenge for his invention of a soap for the treatment of melanoma.
A young American student has won an honor for his research and invention of something that can help cancer patients.
I wonder how many media outlets have picked up this positive story about a young American.
Usually, all the media reports is negative stories about American youth.
Well, I would like to say congratulations to Mr. Bekele for his aspirations to help alleviate suffering among those who have cancer.
Please take the time to read about good news. While there is bad things going on in the world, never forget that God always shines a light in this world of darkness.
Mr. Bekele’s accomplishments in the field of cancer research is a fine example of how human goodness does exist.
American youth need to be encouraged to aspire for greatness.
We can all aspire to greatness.
Be kind. Be compassionate. Find the glass half full rather than half empty.
And thank God for the beauty that is in this world.
And, never forget that there are good people doing good things.
In spite of what popular media wants you to believe.
So, be inspired and go out and do good things for people.
Blessings.
