Rising Star Month
This world wide month promotes personal life planning by encouraging people to celebrate their past success and reach for the stars, by looking at their future success in year long blocks. The first year they celebrate the month by developing a plan that considers family, friendships, work, faith, education, health, sports, and entertainment. Then every subsequent year they evaluate, modify, and institute their revised plan. So, every December people reach for the stars as they develop or revise their life plans.

Helmets and Mouth Guards
Sports safety is a very important thing to think about when getting involved with any sport. In the past it was seen as un- cool to wear a helmet when riding a bike, but in some cities in the US laws are passed to enforce the importance of wearing one for your safety. By spending $20 on a bike helmet, you could not only save yourself from a concussion but also your life. When playing any sports where you could get hit in the mouth a mouth guard is needed. People don’t realize that wearing a mouth guard decreases the odds of injury to your lips teeth and even your brain. When protective mouth wear is worn correctly, it can decrease the chance of getting a concussion. Mouth guards can range anywhere from $5-$150, but rehabilitation costs for a single tooth knocked out can surpass the price of a custom-made mouth guard by 20 times.
