Courageous Actions Around the World

By: Garth Sundem

Eleven-year-old Tilly saved lives in Thailand by warning people that a tsunami was coming. Fifteen-year-old Malika fought against segregation in her Alabama town. Ten-year-old Jean-Dominic won a battle against pesticides—and the cancer they caused in his body. Six-year-old Ryan raised $800,000 to drill water wells in Africa. And twelve-year-old Haruka invented a new environmentally friendly way to scoop dog poop. With the right role models, any child can be a hero. Thirty true stories profile kids who used their heads, their hearts, their courage, and sometimes their stubbornness to help others and do extraordinary things. As young readers meet these boys and girls from around the world, they may wonder, “What kind of hero lives inside of me?”

How many beers should I have at the company picnic? How does it work? Take a simple issue that comes up once or twice a week: Should I call in sick? Fill in the variables honestly, such as D for doctorÕs note (enter 1 for Òno,Ó 10 for Òyes,Ó and 5 for Òyes, but itÕs a forgeryÓ), R for importance of job(1-10, with 10 being Òpersonally responsible for EarthÕs orbit around SunÓ), Fj for how much fun you have at work (1-10, with 10 being Òpersonal trainer for underwear modelsÓ), N for how much you need the money (1-10, with 10 being ÒI owe the mobÓ), then do the math, and voilÑif the product, Hooky, is greater than 1, enjoy your very own Ferris BuellerÕs Day Off.
