Dylan and Hunter Simons

They were orphans in Siberia Russia until their Mom and Dad brought them home and made them a family. They love school, sports and their friends and family. They knew a bit of positivity can go a long way.

Every night their Mom would ask us both of them to tell her what positive thing happened and every morning they would read a positive quote.

They want to share positive attitude with others and hope to make a little bit of change in the world where they will not hear complaining or negativity.

Where did the idea for Only Positive Stories come from?

My brother and I were adopted from Siberia, Russia. We lived in an orphanage until our Mom and Dad came to get us – we were both almost two years old.

We are now both 14 and our parents taught us to be positive and thankful.

We appreciate our family and love sharing our own positive story and thought why not start sharing other positive stories also.

What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive?

We are both athletes and a regular day has us dedicated to our sports and schoolwork.

In our spare time we search the internet to find some positive stories that might make other people smile. We will type the story up, make sure everything is written correctly and then post it. Later we would head onto social media and post something there.

How do you bring ideas to life?

Once we have an idea in our heads we make a plan to make it happen. We plan out all the steps and follow the plan until it is completed. Our Mom has helped us as well. We are young and learning as we go.
