Super inspirational!

A Texas teacher's dance video with his students through the halls of their high school will make you want to get up and dance... or at least make you smile.

If you hear or see someone being bullied, TELL SOMEONE. :(

Mom knew her son was receiving shocking texts but she had never expected it to result on this!

If you're college bound or even job-prospect bound, be careful about what you say on social media.

Three years ago, Scott Fitch couldn't believe what he was hearing. A college coach recruiting two of his Fairport High School boys basketball players called to say how much he liked what he saw aft...

WABENO - Wabeno has been hungry for a grocery story since its last one closed years ago.

Now, the community has one, and customers are in for a surprise.

"They're like, is the owner or manager here? I'm like, I'm right here," says 17-year-old Kaitlyn Ashbeck. Kaitlyn is a member of the Forest County Teen Court!

Twins Kaitlyn and Abigail Ashbeck opened Ashbeck's One Stop this summer at age 16.

"We totally winged it," Kaitlyn laughs. "We went in clueless and hoped for the best."

The community seems to love it.

"They're actually really surprised that we're able to run this business and that we're doing what we are doing," Abigail says. "They're surprised that we got this started and that we're this far into it."

The store isn't huge, but it has the groceries and fishing bait Wabeno has been lacking for years.

"People really like that they don't have to go the longer distance to get their groceries," Abigail says. "Without this, they'd have to drive farther away, to either Antigo, Rhinelander, or Lakewood to get groceries."

The sisters work here full time in the summer.

During the school year, they're here in the evenings, while family and friends help out during the day.

"It's actually kind of nice to work with my sister," Abigail says. "We have to work together more often now than what we had to before."

The plans only get bigger for the future.

"We're going to be expanding. Hopefully this winter or this coming spring," Kaitlyn says.

"I kind of see myself as an example," Abigail says, when asked. "If you put your heart and your mind to it, you can accomplish anything."

These twins have already accomplished plenty in their hometown.
