TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: 14-year-old boy gets one step closer to his basketball dreams thanks to his neighbors
Sometimes all it takes to fulfill your dream is a little help from your neighbors.
This 14-year-old in Canada named Anthony absolutely loves basketball and he spends all the time he can in his driveway practicing his dribbling skills. Recently one of his neighbors came over to the house and knocked on the door. Anthony was afraid they were going to be mad and complain that his dribbling was too loud. Turns out they wanted to support and help him out!
The reason Anthony would only practice his dribbling and not shooting is because he didn’t have an actual basketball hoop! Once people in his town caught wind of this they all pitched in money and bought him one. They even got a local business to donate too. Anthony can now practice his jump shot and hopes to play in the NBA one day.
The coolest part… his favorite player, Lebron James, heard about the story and shouted him out on his Instagram. How cool is that?!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Two Elementary School Teachers Going Viral For How They Start Their Student’s Day
Teachers are so important to our lives because they teach our kids and us so many things. But one of the most important lessons is having confidence in yourself and loving who you are.
These two teachers down in Atlanta are on a mission to help their student see this and to start each day on a positive note.
At the Atlanta elementary school they teach at they make each student shout positive affirmations to themselves in a mirror before they walk into the class. Things like “I am smart!” “I am a good person!”. The teachers cheer them on in the background as they do it. Brilliant idea!
Here’s a video of them doing it…

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why are baby carrots always so wet!?
Every time you bring them home from the store they’re soaked! Why are baby carrots always so wet?
It all starts with how baby carrots are made. They do not grow in the ground like normal carrots. They’re actually made from carrots that are too ugly to sell in the store. The process is to cut them into chunks and polish them using water into the rounded shape. This makes them very water logged.
Water is also put into the plastic packaging bag to keep them moist. Since they have no skin they can dry out quickly. So next time you’re drenched when you open a bag of baby carrots… that’s why.
