the article i read was about going to an animal shelter and helping out with things such as feeding them, walking them, playing woth them, etc. it really inspired me because i love animals and it was nice to see the animals get so excited to see people and get out. the article talked about how happy the animals get when people come to visit and walk them and simply just interact with them.

• Molly Brown helped found the Denver Women’s Club. She also raised money for children’s causes and continued to help mine workers. With her wealth, Brown also expanded her own horizons, taking numerous trips around the world. It was during one such trip in April 1912, after hearing that her grandson was ill, that Brown decided to take the first ship back to the United States; a ship named the RMS Titanic. It was the maiden voyage of the vessel that was supposed to be nearly indestructible. However, on the night of April 14, 1912, the ship failed to live up to its reputation.
