High school runner helps member of other team to finish line

 
Would you give up the chance at winning a race to help someone on another school’s team cross the finish line? That’s what Meghan Vogel of West-Liberty Salem High School in Ohio did at a race last week, and she’s been seen on various news outlets ever since.

 

When Vogel saw Arden McMath, a sophomore at Arlington High School, fall to the track, she helped her up and supported her until the pair reached the finish line, where Vogel let McMath cross the line ahead of her.
 
The moment was caught onscreen for the entire audience of the track meet to see, which allowed medical professionals to spot and aid McMath quickly. It also provided footage of Vogel’s selfless act. By the official rules, Vogel would be disqualified for aiding another runner, but officials were so moved by her actions that both she and McMath remained in the race results (they finished 14th and 15th place).
 
Throughout the publicity following the event, Vogel has remained humble about her action. “I don’t consider myself a hero,” Vogel told ESPN. “I just did what I knew was right and what I was supposed to do.”

Do you know what? I am truly inspired by this girl and her selfless act. She could've had the chance to win but decided to help someone else. There are not a lot of girls on Earth like her and to see that just makes me smile. Girls if you act like this girl the world will thank you for it!

Mod! Please Help!
This morning I was watching Dance Moms and my mom commented on how sweet Chloe's and her mom's relationship is. I want to have a close relationship with my mom. How can i do that? We have our moments but those turn into fighting and i hate it. Please help Cry




Hey girlie,

Try to take some deep breaths and stay calm when you feel tempted to fight with mom. Enjoy yourselves by doing something you both love: bowling, playing a board game, etc. Try to avoid situations that can turn stressful/really competitive, like shopping, working out, or video games. The more happy times you share with mom and the more you focus on growing closer to her, the better your relationship will be! <3 It sounds like she would love a closer relationship too, so she would probably be on board Smile

Hey girl,

Try asking your parents if you can do extra work around the house (chores, cleaning, cooking etc.) to earn clothes. They will be more likely to give you stuff if you earn it!
