I'm from Tennessee and I can tell you, we treat Dolly like a god. When my roommate moved to TN, my friends and I had to tell her that you don't have to like country music to love Dolly.

In 1990, the high school dropout rate for Dolly Parton's hometown of Sevierville Tennessee was at 34% (Research shows that most kids make up their minds in fifth/sixth grade not to graduate). That year, all fifth and sixth graders from Sevierville were invited by Parton to attend an assembly at Dollywood. They were asked to pick a buddy, and if both students completed high school, Dolly Parton would personally hand them each a $500 check on their graduation day. As a result, the dropout rate for those classes fell to 6%, and has generally retained that average to this day.

Shortly after the success of The Buddy Program, Parton learned in dealing with teachers from the school district that problems in education often begin during first grade when kids are at different developmental levels. That year The Dollywood Foundation paid the salaries for additional teachers assistants in every first grade class for the next 2 years, under the agreement that if the program worked, the school system would effectively adopt and fund the program after the trial period.

During the same period, Parton founded the Imagination Library in 1995: The idea being that children from her rural hometown and low-income families often start school at a disadvantage and as a result, will be unfairly compared to their peers for the rest of their lives, effectively encouraging them not to pursue higher education. The objective of the Imagination library was that every child in Sevier County would receive one book, every month, mailed and addressed to the child, from the day they were born until the day they started kindergarten, 100% free of charge. What began as a hometown initiative now serves children in all 50 states, Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, mailing thousands of free books to children around the world monthly.

On March 1, 2018 Parton donated her 100 millionth book at the Library of Congress: a copy of "Coat of Many Colors" dedicated to her father, who never learned to read or write.

Everybody went through that stage when they first joined Tumblr where they were embarrassingly comfortable with adding shitty comments to everything they reblogged.

I had people saying I was a witch and into voodoo because of a joke I had with my friends. Whenever it rained or something I'd raise my hands and do a little dance and a chant and pretend I'm casting a spell on the weather. Totally joking and my friends and I had a good laugh. But I'd always get weird looks from strangers. This was high school.

Like in middle school the only rumors abt me that I know about r that I was jewish (we were learning about physical traits used to identify jews during the holocaust) and that I had a crush on some dude bc, for some reason that still eludes me, he spent his last day at school going around telling everyone I confessed to him

I need more of this.
