This is a baby bird I found outside in my backyard. A recent storm dragged him to my house, so my sister Sofia and I have been taking care of him, feeding him and giving him water. The good news is that his mom comes to visit him everyday and she feeds him, but he can´t fly yet so he cannot go back to the nest with the rest of his family. He has kept me distracted and happy. I am not bored anymore and it is just fun to take care of him.

Sophomore Kate Tiedtke sits in a Houston Fire Station 101 fire truck on Feb. 21. After going into cardiac arrest Kate visited the firefighters often to sit and talk with them. “The experience to thank the firefighters was one of a kind,” Kate said. “They never get the appreciation they deserve. During their job they see the worst things in life like people’s death and their suffering. It is very hard for them to be happy sometimes because of this. At the reunion, they all looked so happy, and that is all I would ever want for them, because they’re like friends to me.”
