    Jesus is the playground stud. He’s got striking blue eyes and dry, spiky brown hair. In only the 4th grade he’s already being scouted by club soccer coaches from around the city. He also dominates at handball. He hits the ball with such force that it’ll bounce off the wall and land 100 feet away in the beauty bark. When he goes to retrieve it he uses his callused hands to wipe off the tiny golden-brown splinters and then tosses it in the air and says, “Who’s next?” He prefers playing against boys so when my posse of girls and I strolled in line he rolled his eyes and said, “No! You guys can’t play.” 
    “Says who?” I piped back. I was feeling sassy. I had Cassandra, no bigger than a thimble, hooked on my right arm. Rosa, poco mas gorda with what I think was a raisin still stuck in her teeth from breakfast, hooked on my left arm. Carmen and her sister Isabel stood crossed-arm next to us.
     “Fine,” he said and then began eliminating us one by one. I waited patiently for my turn. When I finally got up I showed no mercy and like a beast knocked him out with the first serve. I threw my hands in the air and yelled, “Grandote!” My posse cheered. 
     Isabel knocked me out the next round so I had the chance to stand in line next to Jesus, who was already trying to get back-cuts behind Arturo in the front. 
    “You’re good,” I said.
    “Rematch,” he said.
    “I’m too old. I’m sore now,” I said. He shrugged and then went and stood behind Arturo.
     Later that day Teacher had me grade papers (using an answer key of course). I tried to draw something special on each paper because I knew how much kids remember the little things… Hopefully Jesus doesn’t forget this.


I don’t think any of them will forget you!

dayofthebaphomets:


Meet Omari. Two days ago he returned from the hospital after being hacked in the face by a machete defending an orphanage of 35 children by himself. 

    This man dedicates his life to take care of 35 orphaned children from the ages of 2-17 in Kenya. A couple of days ago a group of thugs raided the orphanage to pilage anything they could find, after beating and slashing Omari’s face for defending the children and himself from a previous attempted attack.
     The only thing the children are living off of right now are things growing from their small garden, and eggs from a couple of chickens in their coup. Reddit looked to aim to raise $2,000 a couple of hours ago to help build a concrete wall around the orphanage with a 3 layered barbed-wire coil set on top.
     In 3 hours, over $11,000 has been donated - and all the extra money is going to feeding them, giving them an education, keeping these children (and many more) safe, and building a new facility.
     Please feel free to donate here:

     Remember, anything counts!! Lets see what we can do in 24 hours! :))

Wow

Reddit is starting to seem like the non-trolling version of 4chan. See what happens when people work together?
