A Little Bit of Awesome: 9/2/2020 Edition

A guy in New Jersey named Brian Schwartz was vice-president at an ad agency before he got laid off in June. And while he searches for a new job, he’s been mowing senior citizens’ lawns for free.


Here’s a kid who can roll with the punches. Royce Daughtry, a 300-pound high school football player in Michigan found out his season was postponed. So he joined the cross-country team instead, and ran his first race last week. He finished second-to-last, but says it’s all about staying competitive, and getting tougher “mentally and physically.”


This baby has something to say, and he means it. Unfortunately, he can’t speak very coherently yet so his dad has no idea what’s on his mind.


This guy, Austin, shares a story about his mom turning his braces into a Christmas ornament.

Wait till the end… sadly, it’s worth it. #fy #fyp #braces #mom
