From Tyler ISD:

One by one Andy Woods Elementary School third grade students scooped up handfuls of mulch and sprinkled it around a new tree they planted by their playground. Next to the tree is a bench with a plaque that reads “In Memory of Jordan ‘J.S. Smooth’ Samples 2013.”

Doctors gave Jordan Samples eight months to live when he was diagnosed with brain cancer in November 2011. Jordan’s mom, Jacqueline Samples, says from that day on he lived by the acronym F.R.O.G., which stands for Fully Rely on God.

“Jordan had the courage of a lion, and that courage came from God. There is no other explanation,” Mrs. Samples said. “He encouraged me even when I thought there was no way I could keep going. There he was, this little boy, struggling. But really he was not struggling; he even went back to school when he could have given up. He encouraged and inspired not just me, but the kids, the teachers, and everyone else who came in contact with him.”

A man has made it his comic mission to make a point about the "exclusivity" of Abercrombie & Fitch's CEO on YouTube, saying, "Together, we can remake the A&F brand. #FitchTheHomeless."

The video has gone viral on YouTube as the young man strives to make a point in a humorous way, receiving over a million plays in only two days.

Farmers in the Lone Star State are doing more than helping to feed and clothe the world. They’re also helping agricultural production in other states. Did you know the nation’s largest onion plant supplier is located in Carrizo Springs, Texas?
