Instagram for photos. Twitter for random thoughts and Linkedin for professional networking. Now there&#8217;s something for dentists.</p>
<p>&#8220;We basically have put both dental offices and dentists and job seekers in the driver&#8217;s seat,&#8221; said <strong>Feridoon Amini</strong>, Founder of <strong>Dental Spots</strong>. &#8220;They can go to our site and tell us what days they&#8217;re available, how far from their home they want to work and how they want to be notified when a job becomes available.&#8221;</p>
<p>Amini says he came up with the idea for Dental Spots to save employers time and money while they search for potential employees. </p>
<p>&#8220;We are positioning Dental Spots to be a hub for dental professionals, whatever they do,&#8221; said Amini. &#8220;Whether they&#8217;re dental assistants, dental hygienests, dentists or even in sales. We are trying to be a comprehensive solution that provides dental and dental industry with solutions that impacts their bottom line.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;When you can scan resumes online and not have to deal with the hassle of pen and paper or putting a listing in the newspaper it&#8217;s great,&#8221; said dentist Sarah Poteet. &#8220;This is the way of the feature for sure.&#8221;</p>
<p>And job seekers can post their resume on the site and they can receive notifications when a job becomes available in their area. The feature Amini raves about most is job seeker&#8217;s ability to post a video resume, something he said came from user comments.</p>
<p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t have a lot of time to spend finding temporary employment or new hires so this is an easy way, in our own time, on the computer to pre-screen candidates, especially with the video features they have,&#8221; said Poteet. &#8220;It&#8217;s a great way to get to know the potential candidate without wasting the time with bringing them in the office all the time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Amini says Dental Spots also launched mobile apps for the iPhone and Android that helps people find temporary employment or pick up extra shifts. </p>

		<description><![CDATA[<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/41598529?title=0&#38;byline=0&#38;portrait=0" width="800" height="445" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe><p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Vanessa_Cantu_wheelchair-300x169.jpg" alt="" title="Vanessa_Cantu_wheelchair" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7669" /></p>
<p><strong>Vanessa Cantu</strong> considers herself an incredibly optimistic person. When she was a freshman in high school she was involved in a serious car accident. She says her seat belt didn&#8217;t work and without its support her spine broke and she suffered severe, internal injuries. She was kept in an induced coma for weeks. When she woke up she wanted to know why she couldn&#8217;t feel her legs.</p>
<p>&#8220;My family didn&#8217;t want to tell me anything,&#8221; said Cantu. &#8220;Nobody wanted to tell me anything. Finally I asked the doctor what&#8217;s wrong and he says you&#8217;re paralyzed and you&#8217;re never going to walk again.&#8221;</p>
<p>From that point on Cantu&#8217;s life became fixated on finding a way out of her wheelchair and back on her feet. She went to countless physical therapy sessions and endured a number of surgeries. She found herself able to use crutches but that didn&#8217;t mean the trials and tribulations stopped. </p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll never forget the first time I fell at school and I thought it was just the end of the world,&#8221; said Cantu. &#8220;I just sat on the floor and I cried. At that point it&#8217;s like you can either stay down or get up. Brush it off. Move forward. Learn how to deal with it. That&#8217;s just going to be a part of the process.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Vanessa_Cantu_wheelchair2-300x169.jpg" alt="" title="Vanessa_Cantu_wheelchair2" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7670" /></p>
<p>Cantu started seeing <strong>Mary Tanner</strong>, a Physical Therapist at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. She and Tanner focused on things like balance and strengthening her lower body.</p>
<p>&#8220;We were just basically trying to get her ankles and feet to work better with the walking stages and her ultimate goal was to really kind of get out of the scooter,&#8221; said Tanner.</p>
<p>Tanner says that in less than two years with hard work and determination Cantu made her way out of the scooter.</p>
<p>&#8220;She is so motivated and it&#8217;s rare that we have that kind of transition especially when it&#8217;s an older spinal cord injury,&#8221; said Tanner.</p>
<p>Cantu hopes to encourage other accident victims facing her same struggles and pass on some of her positivity. </p>
<p>&#8220;Find something positive out of it because it&#8217;s a life altering event,&#8221; said Cantu. &#8220;Use it to help other people. Use it to find new hobbies, new goals and you&#8217;ll be surprised at yourself and what you&#8217;re able to do. Don&#8217;t hold back.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Sam Davis</strong> is a happy and outgoing 9-year-old boy. He’s also extremely brave.</p>
<p>“I prick myself in my finger ten times or more a day and I have to take four shots before every meal,&#8221; said Sam. </p>
<p>Three years ago, Sam was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes.</p>
<p>“It’s a disease in your body that your body can’t make insulin so you need to give your body insulin,&#8221; said Sam.</p>
<p>The American Diabetes Association says about one in every four hundred children and adolescents has diabetes. The diagnosis shocked his parents, but they wasted no time getting involved with the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and brainstorming ways to help find a cure.</p>
<p>“We just wanted to see what else we could do,&#8221; said Sam&#8217;s father <strong>Chris Davis</strong>. &#8220;We decided to do a golf tournament.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Sam’s Search 4 a Cure</strong> is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity organization. One of their biggest fundraisers is the Eli Daniel Swing to Cure Sam Golf Tournament, now in it’s third year. The first year the tournament had a field of one hundred and twenty players, and the second it was completely full. This year people lined up to help.</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Sams_Search_For_Cure_Golf_Tournament_Juvenile_Diabetes_nonprofit-300x169.jpg" alt="" title="Sams_Search_For_Cure_Golf_Tournament_Juvenile_Diabetes_nonprofit" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7649" /></p>
<p>“This tournament sold out in eighteen days which we’re really proud of,&#8221; said Chris. &#8220;This is our third year to do this golf tournament.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Next year the plan is sell it out in forty six seconds like Garth Brooks,&#8221; said <strong>Chris Lawson</strong>, CEO of Eli Daniel Group.</p>
<p>Proceeds from the tournament go to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and treatment for Sam.  It’s clear Sam’s bright personality helps everyone at the tournament remember to always keep a smile on their face and have fun while raising awareness for this disease. </p>
<p>“I think it’s really awesome that everyone is hear to support people with diabetes,&#8221; said Sam.</p>
<p>For such a small boy, Sam has a big heart. He’s already spread his love to so many around him, and he hopes his tournament is just the start of helping the over two hundred thousand children in America with diabetes.  </p>

<p>Since she was just a baby, six year old <strong>Reagan</strong> has been seeing therapists like <strong>Erin Belleu</strong> a Speech Pathologist who has worked for THERAPY 2000 for over ten years. Young Reagan would spit out her food, struggling to chew and swallow her bites. Now, Reagan is working on her speech, and her therapist has found lots of fun ways to help Reagen master her words like playing Go Fish on an iPad. Reagan&#8217;s mother, <strong>Suzanne Hollman</strong> has nine children. Four of them are excelling thanks to THERAPY 2000. It&#8217;s a program that offers therapy to those in need. Specialists offer occupational, speech, or physical therapy. Some, like Reagan, needed help eating solid foods. Others have soared above reading levels in school thanks to speech therapy.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s completely changed their lives, and for the better,&#8221; said Hollman. &#8220;They are able to cope, understand, have social skills, where before we never knew they were going to be able to get passed that hump.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Therapy_2000_frisco_dallas_texas_speech_eating_DESCRIP2-300x169.jpg" alt="" title="Therapy_2000_frisco_dallas_texas_speech_eating_DESCRIP2" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7629" /></p>
<p>Hollman says it&#8217;s not just the strides her children have made that encourage her to recommend THERAPY 2000 to her friends.</p>
<p>&#8220;They do come to the home so that they work around our schedule,&#8221; said Hollman. &#8220;That is also an appealing aspect that THERAPY 2000 can offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hollman credits Reagen&#8217;s therapy session for bringing her up to speed, while making learning fun. Reagan now enjoys sharing all of her words with everyone she knows</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not about making more money,&#8221; said <strong>Belinda Williams</strong>, Occupational Therapist for THERAPY 2000. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about you having notariety, or somebody just giving you an extra pat on the back. It&#8217;s knowing that you&#8217;re really going to make a difference.&#8221;</p>
<p>Making a difference in many lives, just like Reagan&#8217;s.</p>

<p>Since she was just a baby, six year old <strong>Reagan</strong> has been seeing therapists like <strong>Erin Belleu</strong> a Speech Pathologist who has worked for THERAPY 2000 for over ten years. Young Reagan would spit out her food, struggling to chew and swallow her bites. Now, Reagan is working on her speech, and her therapist has found lots of fun ways to help Reagen master her words like playing Go Fish on an iPad. Reagan&#8217;s mother, <strong>Suzanne Hollman</strong> has nine children. Four of them are excelling thanks to THERAPY 2000. It&#8217;s a program that offers therapy to those in need. Specialists offer occupational, speech, or physical therapy. Some, like Reagan, needed help eating solid foods. Others have soared above reading levels in school thanks to speech therapy.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s completely changed their lives, and for the better,&#8221; said Hollman. &#8220;They are able to cope, understand, have social skills, where before we never knew they were going to be able to get passed that hump.&#8221;</p>
<p><img src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Therapy_2000_frisco_dallas_texas_speech_eating_DESCRIP2-300x169.jpg" alt="" title="Therapy_2000_frisco_dallas_texas_speech_eating_DESCRIP2" width="300" height="169" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7629" /></p>
<p>Hollman says it&#8217;s not just the strides her children have made that encourage her to recommend THERAPY 2000 to her friends.</p>
<p>&#8220;They do come to the home so that they work around our schedule,&#8221; said Hollman. &#8220;That is also an appealing aspect that THERAPY 2000 can offer.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hollman credits Reagen&#8217;s therapy session for bringing her up to speed, while making learning fun. Reagan now enjoys sharing all of her words with everyone she knows</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not about making more money,&#8221; said <strong>Belinda Williams</strong>, Occupational Therapist for THERAPY 2000. &#8220;It&#8217;s not about you having notariety, or somebody just giving you an extra pat on the back. It&#8217;s knowing that you&#8217;re really going to make a difference.&#8221;</p>
<p>Making a difference in many lives, just like Reagan&#8217;s.</p>

<p>Former pro wrestler turned inspirational speaker<strong> Shawn Stasiak</strong> is preaching to students about overcoming their fears.</p>
<p>&#8220;Life&#8217;s going to have all kinds of obstacles, challenges and fears,&#8221; said Stasiak. &#8220;We&#8217;re going to face fears but it&#8217;s up to us to dig deep.&#8221;</p>
<p>He even has created a character called <strong>Fobia </strong>to help get his message across to young people.</p>
<p>&#8220;What was once a Halloween joke has turned into my reality,&#8221; said Stasiak. &#8220;Fobia is a depiction of me of all my fears and challenges that I&#8217;ve had to face over the years that I&#8217;ve overcome.&#8221;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-7511" title="Shawn_Stasiak_Pro_Wrestler_Stacey_Kiebler_The_Rock_Is_Cooking_DESCRIP2" src="http://dfwreporting.com/site/wp-content/uploads/Shawn_Stasiak_Pro_Wrestler_Stacey_Kiebler_The_Rock_Is_Cooking_DESCRIP2-300x169.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="169" /></p>
<p>Stasiak&#8217;s father wrestled for more than two decades which resulted in frequent moves around the country and high expectations in the ring. Those are among things the younger Stasiak says he&#8217;s overcome and his message resonated with officials at Irving&#8217;s Crockett Middle School.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that the primary of topics of facing your fears and surrounding yourself by good people are something that&#8217;s going to be really valuable for our students,&#8221; said <strong>Raymond Edwards</strong>, Principal of Crockett Middle School.</p>
<p>&#8220;What he says is what our kids need to hear,&#8221; said <strong>Nancy Innis</strong>. &#8220;Perseverance, staying with it and don&#8217;t let people get in your way.&#8221;</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s a former wrestler doing back in the face paint after become a chiropractor five years ago?</p>
<p>&#8220;Everybody needs a hero, mentor or leader to look up to and it&#8217;s my time now,&#8221; said Stasiak. &#8220;Everything I&#8217;ve been through in my life, good or bad, has led me to this next chapter.&#8221;</p>
<p>In his next chapter Stasiak hopes he can make as much of an impact as a speaker as he did in the ring.</p>
