This might look like a normal 7th grader but he's not. He's one of the most generous young persons I've ever read about. He's getting a lot of attention because of a big deed he did for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Diesel Pippert did what I would expect nobody his age to do, he donated THOUSANDS of dollars to help St. Jude kids. He didn't cash it in on Fortnite, he didn't run out and buy new kicks, he used the money in the least selfish way possible. According to Western Reserve Schools, Diesel Pippert donated his 4-H livestock premiums to St. Jude... $15,000 in fact.

In a statement on Facebook, his school district described Diesel in the most accurate way possible.

A young man lives amongst us who should be an example to us all.

Kudos to Diesel for being extremely charitable and for having a really cool name.
