    I struggle to get my lawns done myself, and I know I appreciate any help I get. There's so much negativity in the news, and it seems, not enough positive role models. I love not only what this young man has done and continues to do, but the name of his movement, because he is teaching young men to be real men who care about others and reach out and help those in need.

    You're welcome, Joe, I love stories like that. I shared it on Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest. I'm always hopeful that by sharing, someone seeing the stories will be inspired to reach out and help someone. I'm a firm believer that we never really know what someone's going through, and even small acts of kindness can make a huge difference in a person's life. I hope this young man has inspired others in his community, and now, around the country and world, to strive to be better persons and do for others. I love the part where he says (something like) don't do one act, do something every day.

    Thanks for sharing @Krissttina Isobe, you never know who will see it and become inspired. I think a lot of the young people these days could use some encouragement and positive examples to look up to, so perhaps it will reach the right eyes, and make a difference in some young lives.

    *...and how! I subscribe to Pres. Obama's e-newsletter and like and follow on twitter and facebook, so I have shared the video with Pres. Obama's team already. I feel so wonderful that there are great American's like these young ones in our world that has news of very frightening proportion, yet to know that these young people do what they do is so good that I thought Pres. Obama and his team would be delighted to know of the young people of America really are doing and thanks to you who posted this little video it's happening! Thanks so much for the post! It just makes you feel good!!! Old, but good, lol!!

    Here's another one, and it's even about mowing lawns. It's from Minnesota, but there's also a section of the story about La Porte, which is a neighboring town to where I live.
