Who’s got powerful vocals, musical talent, volunteerism and good looks? Megan Nicole! She’s a 17- year- old uprising singer and songwriter who started posting covers of various songs on YouTube starting last year.
The trees above are covered in spider webs as the 2010 Pakistan floods forced the eight- legged arthropods to seek refuge from the floodwaters. Another side effect of the floods? There were less mosquitoes.
Often, we forget what a blessing is it that we still have family members around us. Children often ignore what the parents do for them on a daily basis, and too many times they take what they have for granted. Parents have brought their children into the world, fed them, gave them water, provided them…
