I've always loved the intriguing, thought-provoking stories and how Ellerbee presents them in a way only she can.
A special edition of the show aired on Monday night simply titled "Everyday Heroes" - 22 minutes worth of amazing stories and triumphs I might add. Even more amazing was the heroes were all teenagers or younger, taking on adult-sized issues.
One in particular was Carson Jones, a popular high school quarterback, who befriended a special needs student, Chy (pronounced Shy), who was being bullied.
Instead of taking physical action against the bullies, Jones and his friends sat and ate lunch with Chy everyday. Chy became the center of attention and was a vital part of the football team's state championship run.

I'd be remiss if I said this story didn't make me tear up. In a time where bullying is costing more and more teens their lives it was inspiring to see this guy take a stand and make sure the bullies didn't win.
You're probably busy at work, school, or somewhere while you're reading this but I'd ask that you take just 22 minutes out of your life to watch this. The video is posted below.
I believe this special should garner even more awards for the already decorated Nick News and Ellerbee.
