"Marc Alexander promises his "angels" that he will pay it forward.
In the midst of a credit crisis, the 23-year-old had been rejected seven times for the $16,000 loan he needed to attend Kettering University this term.
But someone out there just couldn't stand to see the star senior quit college.
The anonymous letter came to Kettering's financial aid office just days after his story appeared in The Flint Journal -- enclosed was a $16,000 cashier's check.
Just one simple request from his secret donors: Pay it forward. "

Awesome movies on friendship
We watched couple of awesome and very touching movies on friendship this last weekend.
One was "Le ballon rouge" which tells the very cute story of a friendship between an young boy and a red balloon and the envy the world has over their friendship.
The second one, part of the same DVD, was "Crin blanc: Le cheval sauvage" (White Mane) which tells the story of friendship between an young boy and a rebellious horse and the envy of an evil ranch owner, whose tyranny drives the story to a tragic close.

The importance of community in your health
"It always seems to come down to who you know. The people we grew up with, now know, and will grow old with have a huge effect on our well-being and even our risk of future disease. Community is where we assimilate health believes, attitudes and behaviors. Community also encompasses our neighbourhoods and their attendant social factors, such as violent crime, unemployment and access to health-care services. All these components blend to impact our health profoundly, both positively and negatively."
