The girls will compete in Washington D.C. against 160 other teams from all over the world. These are teens who excel in science, technology, engineering and math. (STEM)
We can imagine the girls' devastation after breaking down so many barriers and then being denied entrance into the country where this great competition is being held. But the decision was reversed, citing "significant public benefit."***
The second story is about one of my all time favorite people, Jimmy Carter, age 93. You may remember he had brain cancer a couple of years ago but refused to make a big deal of it and is now, apparently, in remission.
So yesterday he was, as usual, in his hard hat working on a Habitat for Humanity house when he became ill. Let me say here that the quiet Rosalynn, age 90 was, as usual working right along side him. He was taken to the hospital but the former peanut farmer and president of the United States, was merely dehydrated. When asked if he had any advice for the rest of he said yes:
Stay hydrated and build something.
