—____. I actually found it quite entertaining.

At just 14 years old, He man Bekele emerged as the victor of the 2023 3M Young Scientist Challenge,1 among nine other finalists with his innovative creation known as the Skin Cancer Treating Soap (SCTS). In2 of his exceptional achievement, this ninth-grade talent is set to receive a substantial cash award of $25,000.

Bekele's revolutionary concept3 through a two-minute video, centers on the development of a soap that is not only4 , priced at less than $10 per bar, but also has the potential to reactivate dendritic cells — the body's natural 5 of the skin — to cope with skin cancer.

Reflecting on his presentation and inspiration, Bekele shared that his childhood in Ethiopia played a significant 6 in shaping his innovative thinking. Having witnessed people work7 under the scorching sun, he couldn't help but8 how many were aware of the risks associated with long-term sun9 .

"I wanted to make my idea not only scientifically exceptional but also accessible to a broad audience," Bekele expressed during an interview with The Washington Post. To10 him realize his ambitious plans, he received invaluable advice from Deborah Isabelle, a product engineering specialist at 3M, who11 him with other scientists. Ultimately, the path forward for Bekele's creation includes obtaining FDA approval.

Improving your family life can help make your family members closer and prevent conflicts from getting in the way of everyone's happiness.Fortunately, there are lots of concrete steps you can take to make your time with your family more enjoyable and fulfilling.

Have meals together as often as possible.

Parents work and kids have after-school activities, so it's tough to have breakfast and dinner together every day. However, do your best to eat together as often as possible.When someone gets home from work or practice late, sit down with them while they have dinner, even if you've already eaten. Spending time together and having a conversation is more important than eating at the same time.

Do household chores together.

Few people actually enjoy doing chores, but sharing household responsibilities can help everyone in your family take pride in your home.. For instance, whoever finishes folding their laundry first might get to pick out the movie you'll watch together. Divide chores up into age-appropriate categories. After dinner, your youngest could wipe the table, your oldest could fill the dishwasher, and you could put away leftovers.

Avoid comparing your family to those you see on social media.

It can be easy to believe that because other people always look happy in their pictures and videos they always feel that way.If you start to envy someone else's family, just remind yourself that you don't know what their life is really like, and they likely have family arguments and other issues just like everyone else. Remember, even if someone else's family takes more vacations or has more expensive things, it doesn't mean they're any happier than you and your family are.

Avoid harsh criticism and judgments.

Give each other permission to express emotions and act silly without fear of criticism or judgment.If you're a parent, offer positive, constructive criticism, and try to discourage your children from harshly judging each other. Instead of saying, "No, that's not how you do that," say, "Good try, but let me help you do this the right way."

A. Remember, every family needs to work to keep their relationships healthy and strong.

B. When people expect harsh judgment, they tend to bottle things up and avoid sharing their feelings.

C. However, navigating family relationships requires patience, understanding, and effective communication.

D. Family meals are a key routine that helps you stay involved in each other's lives.

E. When you are stressed, you're more likely to make harsh judgments.

F. Try to make it as fun as possible, such as by playing music or having contests.

G. Developing a chore system in your family's routine can make a big difference.
