...Vitoria Soto

  This is Victoria. She hid her first graders in the cabinets and closets after hearing the gunfire. When the shooter came to her classroom, she told him that her students were in the gym. He then gunned her down and moved on. She saved the lives of all of her students. Victoria Soto grew up in Stratford, Connecticut and graduated from Eastern Connecticut State University. Her father worked for the state transportation department and her mother is a nurse. She was studying for a master's degree in special education.

  "Our good fortune is dependent upon the cooperation and contributions of others. Every aspect of our present well-being is due to hard work on the part of others. As we look around us at the buildings we live and work in, the roads we travel, the clothes we wear, or the food we eat, we have to acknowledge that all are provided by others. None of them would exist for us to enjoy and make use of were it not for the kindness of so many people unknown to us."

...Cheetahs playing with a baby impala

  Amazing photos captured by Michel Denis-Huot, on safari in Kenya's Masai Mara

'These three brothers have been living together since they left their mother at about 18 months old', he said. 'On the morning we saw them, they seemed not to be hungry, walking quickly but stopping to play together. At one point, they met a group of impala who ran away. But one youngster was not quick enough and the brothers caught it easily. For more than 15 minutes they remained with the young antelope without doing anything other than licking it or putting their paws on the impala's head'
