Coach becomes an internet sensation with heartwarming gesture at youth basketball game

Educators are vital pillars of our community, yet their contributions are often underestimated. It takes a special person to dedicate themselves to teaching, mentoring and motivating young minds.

Jonathan Oliver, a physical education teacher at WG Nunn Elementary in Valdosta, Georgia, is one example of this commitment. He recently earned recognition for a touching moment of kindness during a children’s basketball game.

When kindergarten teacher Kristen Paulk asked for help with her ponytail, Oliver didn’t hesitate. He knelt on a basketball to be at eye level with her and carefully tied her pigtails to make sure her hair didn’t fall into her face. This tender gesture, captured on video, was shared on YouTube by Kandice Anderson, a fellow teacher

The video, aptly titled “When Your Job Goes Beyond Teaching!” quickly went viral and captured the hearts of many. It eventually caught the attention of Good Morning America, which interviewed the 34-year-old father of three.

“I was surprised by the attention because that’s exactly what we do,” Oliver told Good Morning America, unaware of the recording. “We want students to feel at home and loved. For me, wearing a ponytail just helped.”

Oliver mentioned that while Kristen’s request was for a ponytail, his hairstyling expertise was otherwise quite limited. “If she had asked for something else, I would have said, ‘You better ask your mom,’” he joked.

Kristen’s mother, Miyah Cleckley, expressed her appreciation for Oliver’s gesture. “I always know that Kristen is in excellent hands with him. It was especially touching because my husband helps us a lot with our daughters’ hair, as we have five girls and a son.”

There are many stories of teachers going the extra mile, and Jonathan Oliver’s story is a beautiful example of everyday heroes in education.

Top 10 Sexiest Bald Men of 2023, According to Study (Vin Diesel Has Been Dethroned)

Considering the golden ratio and other factors such as height, net worth, and public perception, a study has found the most attractive bald men in the world. These men were assessed on a scale of 1 to 10, and while some can’t agree more with the list, some people have criticized it.

Reboot, an SEO agency, conducted a thorough study to find the most attractive bald man among 20 celebrities. In addition to the factors mentioned above, the study also considered facial features, cranial shine, vocal attractiveness, and online search interest for terms like “shirtless.”

The researchers gathered data on each celebrity’s net worth and height, analyzed their facial features using computer vision algorithms, and measured the brightness of their heads as a percentage of a standard 60W light bulb. Voice analysis using Praat software determined vocal attractiveness based on a benchmark of 96Hz. Online interest in each celebrity’s shirtless or naked images was also taken into account. All these factors were combined to create a comprehensive index score out of 10. Below is the list of the top 10 hottest bald men, per the study results.
