'My 5-Year-Old is Amazing at Basketball—But He Has Childhood Dementia'
When we stop and watch basketball players, Simon will vocalize his excitement. He's limited to one to three word phrases, but he'll always say something like "yay!" or "try again!" He'll just shake with excitement.
'I've Been Laid Off 7 Times'
After I lost my job for the sixth time in 2014, I had two jobs in call centers and I got a license to be a cab driver. I'm not prepared to sit and do nothing. I guess that's what has got me through; I'll do anything.
'I'm a College Football Player With a Stutter—My Goal Is To Inspire Others'
Some coaches I talked to at different colleges asked whether, if I saw something and I had to make a call, I would stutter in the heat of the game. Perhaps they were scared that if I were to stutter on the field it might affect or hurt the team.
'I Gave Up Alcohol 7 Years Ago—Now My Life is Amazing'
My life for a good four years was drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels, a bottle of wine and 15-20 beers or ciders a day. I would get up, walk to the shop and buy alcohol and then fall asleep on the sofa having drunk all day.

Matt Amodio: My Biggest 'Jeopardy!' Regret is Losing Before Meeting Ken Jennings
I'm eager to have the opportunity to play Jonathan Fisher again. Firstly, because it will be great television, but also, because I want to beat him. I have visualised beating Jonathan in multiple ways; that includes some replay of the game I lost and some future play in Tournament of Champions.
'I'm 6, I Taught Myself Dance Online and Now I'm in The Nutcracker'
Sophie Phillips, who is Miss Delaware 2021, saw me dancing and flipping. She said, "Oh my gosh, have you had dance classes?" I said no and then she recorded me dancing and shared videos on her social media.
'I Live in an Airplane I Converted Into a Home'
The MD-80 airplane has three bedrooms, a bathroom, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen and an office. The cockpit is the same, and below it is the wine room. Behind that is the library and the former cargo hold is now a games room for my kids.
Amy Schneider: I'm The First Trans Jeopardy! Contestant in the Tournament of Champions

The death of a pet can be devastating for families. I felt in my heart that this care was what people and pets needed.
'At 50, I Wrote a Series of Best-Selling Erotic Fiction'
I read a few lines of Fifty Shades of Grey and I remember thinking that women just aren't like that. We snag our tights, we trip over in our heels and when you get to my age, 50, you're also coping with hot flushes.
'I Am a Survivor Of The Jonestown Massacre'
The morning of November 19th, we were told that they hadn't found any children or babies. On the 20th they said they had found more people and children, but they hadn't found any babies. Then on the 21st, we were told that everybody was dead.

I bought the bus in April for a bargain price of $4,360 (£3,250). I've spent about $5,400 (£4,000) on top of that so far, but I think altogether I'll spend about $20,000 (£15,000).
