Photo of police officer giving boots to barefoot man warms hearts online
This article shows a picture of a police officer giving a homeless man a pair of brand new boots. The police officer spent about $75 on a pair of shoes for this homeless man. I think this article is newsworthy because this happened in New York City, and in New York there are homeless people everywhere. Usually people just walk past those in need and don’t stop to help. People care about seeing random acts of kindness in the news. It isn’t possible for this policeman to help every homeless person, but to this one man that he helped it mattered.

This is news because it’s attracting to the public because most everyone these days has a smart phone. These are simple mistakes we all make. When you have a cell phone, don’t be dumb with it. You can think you’re going about your life easier, when really you’re making social interactions more difficult.

The women’s Cross Country team has also received national recognition. They did not qualify for the national meet, but they did receive the Buffalo Funds Five Star Champions of Character Team Award in the NAIA. The recipient is selected from a group of nominees by the Cross Country Coaches Association Executive Committee.

Last night, RHA The (Residence Hall Association) hosted their annual cake decorating contest. Students gathered in teams to compete to see who could decorate the best cake. Instead of wasting cake, Morningside College gave them Styrofoam pieces to decorate and piece together like a cake. The winners received a gift basket or a cookie bouquet.
There was a lot of work put in to prepare for the event

Most people think that the value of a habit is you don’t have to think about it. It frees up your brain to do other things. However it doesn’t free up your brain at all. There is a piece of your cortex that is devoted to that control.
