Inspiring Quotes for Saturday, April 5, 2025
I would rather walk with a friend in the dark than walk alone in the light. Helen Keller Helen Keller, born in 1880, was only 19 months old when she lost both her sight and her hearing. She likened her early years to being “at sea in a dense fog,” but everything changed on March 5, 1887, when Anne Sullivan arrived at her door. Sullivan, who was herself partially blind, was 20 years old when she was hired to teach Keller language, including reading and writing. The two women became lifelong friends and companions. With Sullivan at her side, Keller went on to write 14 books and hundreds of essays. She toured the world and became an acclaimed speaker, advocating for disability rights and many other causes throughout her life. Mary Live long and prosper

Calling all stargazers: These 5 DarkSky destinations are within driving distance of major U.S. cities Health New Bill Provides Free School Meals to 40K More Utah Students Tetra Images/Getty Images An additional 40,000 Utah elementary school students will soon qualify for free school meals, thanks to a bill approved by Gov. Spencer Cox last Tuesday. Currently, students whose family income is at or below 130% of the federal poverty level — about $40,560 for a family of four — are eligible. But when the bill, HB100, goes into effect July 1, the threshold for receiving free meals will change to 185% of the poverty level, or $57,720. ? Per Utah-based nonprofit The Policy Project, HB100 will allot $2.5 million from the state’s education budget toward the newly free meals, although the organization is also raising private funds in case more are needed, a spokesperson told The Salt Lake Tribune. The law also states that local education agencies will be prohibited from “stigmatizing students who cannot afford meals,” i.e. singling out children who are receiving the free food. ? “I am really excited,” State Rep. Tyler Clancy, who sponsored the bill, told Fox13 Salt Lake City in February when it moved to the Utah House floor. “I think you saw and got feedback from committee members, even some that have been in education, recognizing the importance that hungry kids can’t learn.” Together With Timeplast Former PepsiCo Exec Invented a Plastic That Dissolves in Water If anyone knows a thing or two about plastic’s impact on the planet, it’s Manuel Rendon.
