In Hawaii, divers were swimming with manta rays when all of a sudden, one approached a dolphin. It approached one of the divers quite closely, as though it needed assistance. Divers understood what it wanted very soon.
Its fin was found to be stuck with a fishing line and hook, which undoubtedly caused it great discomfort and made it difficult for it to swim.
He took great care to remove the hook, but his task was not yet done. There is still tangle of fishing line around the fin.
The diver’s scissors came in handy, allowing him to release the dolphin. When the dolphin broke free, he bid it farewell.
The level of intelligence in these organisms is astounding. When a dolphin approached the diver in need of assistance, he gave it. Before it took off, it gave him a quick glance as though to say “thank you.”
Keller Laros, a stingray expert and certified diving instructor, supplied the photos. He utilizes his photos to investigate manta rays because he is an obsessive underwater photographer.
In addition, Laros is president and co-founder of the non-profit Manta Pacific study Foundation, which is committed to “research and protection of manta rays and the marine environment.”
Throughout his career, this significant work allowed Lars to release numerous law enforcement officers and sea turtles from fishing nets (which is why he carried scissors). However, this was the first occasion a dolphin approached the diver in need of assistance.
Luckily, someone recorded this heartfelt encounter, and it has been viewed millions of times since. On his website, Laros stated, “It was a really amazing experience.”
Teacher secretly records coach touching girls hair and the mother speaks up after seeing the footage
Getting inside the classroom every day and trying to cope with all those students who have different personalities and learn using different strategies isn’t that easy. However, watching a shy student raising their hand and speaking in front of the whole class, or seeing a struggling student getting an ‘A’ makes you realize that it’s all worth it. It requires only special people to be teachers, because not everyone can rise to the task of shaping young minds into compassionate and responsible people who’d become a valuable part of the community.
The ideal teachers always go the extra mile just to make sure their students are doing their best to achieve the most they can. This help usually expands outside of the classroom too. And even if this effort may not be recognized by the parents, the school’s principal, or the community, that doesn’t really mater, because teachers know how great of an impact they make.
One physical education teacher from Valdosta, Georgia was giving his students a lesson in basketball when one of them, a girl named Kristin Paulk, approached and asked him whether he could do her a favor. The teacher said yes even before he knew what she would ask. The girl then said: “Can you tie my hair in a ponytail?” The teacher didn’t think twice before he knelt down and started doing her hair. Meanwhile, a fellow colleague named Kandice Anderson noticed the quite unusual sight and decided to put it on tape. She later posted the video on her Facebook page, writing:
“When your job goes beyond teaching… #CoachO #Love”
Kandice only wanted to show her friends what it really takes to be a teacher, and never did she think the video would be seen more than 3 million times. The phys ed teacher had no idea his kind act vent viral and he became famous. People found this way too adorable, and he was featured on Good Morning America.
“It was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it.”
The teacher has three children on his own so he happens to know how to make a ponytail. He jokes how his expertise in hair styling stops there and if sweet Kristin wanted a more complex hairstyle she should have probably asked someone else to do it for her.
Kristin’s mother was also a guest at Good Morning America where she shared how she felt like after watching the video. She says she is more than happy knowing her girl has a teacher who cares so much.
We hope there are more teachers like this coach out there, who would do anything for their students’ well being.
This video is the sweetest thing you’ll see all day.
