I became bald(禿头的)at two due to a condition.At school I was
bullied (for it.Sports became my escape,and I was fortunate to have
born athletic ability.I would race home every day and shoot basketball for
hours.I put all my time and energy into basketball to become the best
player I could be.
I had a great high-school career,breaking countless school records,
and received a scholarship to play in college.It was a dream come true.
However,I still rarely talked about my condition.I continued to wear my
wig()all the time,no matter the weather or what I was doing.
In my senior year of college,I wanted to run the marathon.During
that 26.2-mile run,I felt strong,truly like Superwoman.I will never
forget the feeling of crossing the finish line,and the way everyone
celebrated me.I began running marathons all over the country.I loved the
feeling I got from running and training.I looked forward to my runs in the
morning when the rest of the world was still sleeping.This was my chance
to reflect,dream big,and enjoy the sound of my feet on the pavement.The
more I ran,the stronger and more confident I felt.I slowly started to talk
about my condition to close friends.
Then one day,on a hot training run,I threw off my wig while tears
welled up in my eyes.For the first time,I felt strong,beautiful,and
brave.Getting home that day,I looked at myself in the mirror and saw
someone kind,caring and full of joy.Two weeks later,I ran my first
marathon wigless and was celebrated and loved during that entire race
weekend.I was surrounded by such positivity and support that I didn't even
think of my wigless head.Tears welled in my eyes as I crossed that finish
line in San Diego.

Every time Prem Prakash hears about thalassemic(地中海贫血的)
patients running from one blood bank to another,he feels like rushing to
the nearest blood bank and instantly donating blood.But he also knows that
there is a limit to what he can do."I can donate only four times a year.I
wish there will never be a shortage of blood,but I can't do much about it,"
he says.
Even in the middle of the pandemic(流行病),Prakash donated his
blood.People are not visiting blood banks in hospitals because they fear
getting infected with the virus.But all well-managed blood banks such as
the ones under the Red Cross are safe.Moreover,this is the time to show
you are standing with those in need.

Prakash can't remember why he donated blood for the first time 15
years ago."There must have been some reason that I cannot remember,but
it doesn't matter.You don't really need a reason to donate blood.You just
need to look around and see the suffering of patients.That should be
enough to motivate you to donate blood,he says.
Prakash feels that government and private agencies should run a media
campaign encouraging people to donate blood,as many voluntary donors are
not stepping out.The COVID-19 situation will improve and surgeries that
were not taking place will begin again.Likewise,the demand for blood will
also rise.So it is important for voluntary donors to come forward.

continue as long as he can.

osprey,surely he got some great photos?

In pursuing our dreams,we commonly encounter voices of doubt from
those around us.Friends,family,or even strangers may question our
ambitions,casting shadows of uncertainty on the path we've chosen.
However,it's important to remember that the opinions of others should not
define our potential or limit our ambitions.

of becoming a writer after being laid off.Despite facing discouragement
from others,he published his first book,Leigh Howard and the Ghosts of
Simmons-Pierce Manor,last year.
Surprisingly,Shawn's journey took an unexpected turn-he became a
Texas bestselling author when a TikTok video of him selling his book at a
grocery store went viral().Tik Toker Jerrad Swearenjin shot the video
of Shawn sitting alone at a table with his books in a Texas Kroger store.
"I was just shopping when I noticed this man trying to promote his new
book.I honestly don't even read books nowadays.But something told me
to get a couple.This new author seemed super defeated when I first walked
past him.So before I left the store,I decided to go back,"the video text
read.The video gained great popularity,with millions of likes and comments,

and many people expressing interest in purchasing Shawn's book.
Swearenjin shared his motivation for approaching Shawn,stating that
