This Is Water by David Foster Wallace

This video is 9 minutes long, but truly inspirational. If you have some time, I highly recommend watching it.  Bookmark it for another day, share it on Facebook, Pin it, Skype it, do whatever you wish with it, but make sure to watch it sometime in your life.  It doesn't matter if you're in college, high school or an alumni - this video is for everyone.

Author David Foster Wallace was asked to give the commencement address to the 2005 graduating class of Kenyon College. However, the resulting speech didn't become widely known until 3 years later, after his tragic death. It is, without a doubt, some of the best life advice we've ever come across, and perhaps the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education.

Entire Houston Area High School Lip Dubs to "Wavin' Flag" by K'naan

If you want something to make you smile, something to make you proud we live in this great country, or something just to make your day.  WATCH. THIS. VIDEO.

 

With all the craziness in the world, it's amazing how a video with over 1,800 High School students can make your day feel so much better.  Maybe it's because we were all high school students once, or maybe it's because we had or have teenagers who are in school, I don't know.  Maybe it's a combination of all those things.  Regardless, the entire student body of Stratford High School in Houston, Texas, created this video of them lip dubbing to K'naan's song, "Wavin' Flag" and it was absolutely fantastic! Absolutely, absolutely wonderful!

Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 9

Absolutely hilarious!  We're screwed, and our future is in their hands. LOL.  

When our high school children agree that the Korean War is when we gained our Independence or when they don't know that Mexico and Canada border our United States of America, we have a serious problem on our hands.

Better yet, ask them to name a country that starts with the letter "U".
