Darwin's Arch, a famed rock formation in the Galapagos Islands has taken on a new shape.

The top of the Arch collapsed this week into the Pacific Ocean due to natural forces.

"Obviously all the people from the Galapagos felt it was a shame because it's something we're familiar with since childhood, and to know that it has changed was a bit of a shock,"

Washington Tapia said, "However, from a scientific point of view, it's part of the natural process.

It normally happens on our planet. "

Darwin's Arch, which is made of natural stone, at one point would have been part of the island. Named after famed naturalist Charles Darwin, it is not accessible by land. But the area around the islands is a popular diving spot, particularly to observe sharks and other sea species.

"Unfortunately today, our guests of the Galapagos Aggressor III experienced a once in a lifetime event," the travel company Agressor Adventures posted on Facebook. The group added, "This morning at 11:20 am local time, the world-famous Darwin's Arch collapsed in front of their eyes. There are now only two pillars(柱子) remaining. Some in the dive & travel industry are already referring to this now as 'The Pillars of Evolution(进化)'. "

The post received nearly 200 comments including one person who wrote, "What a shame! Geologic(地质的) time is so much different from human time that we forget that it's always going on. That's why I like to spend a lot of time among the arches in Southern Utah. You never know when it could be the last time before geology does its work. "

The Galapagos Islands are a UNESCO World Heritage Site that has been called a "living museum and showcase of evolution". The islands are situated about 621 miles from the coast of Ecuador. They are home to many interesting animals including giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and many types of finches.

Dad's comb was jade green. I heard he bought it when he married Mum, which made the comb two years older than I was. Every night, he would smile, hand me the comb and say, "Be a good girl and help Daddy clean it, OK?"

I was more than happy to do it. At age five this mundane task brought me such joy. I would excitedly turn the tap on, then brush the comb with a used toothbrush as hard as I could. Satisfied that I'd done a good job, I would proudly return the comb to Dad. He would smile at me and place the comb on top of his wallet.

About two years later, Dad left his sales job and started his own wholesale business. I started primary school. That was when things started to change. He didn't come home as much as he used to – just a couple of times a week. And when he did come home, it was always late and I'd already be in bed. I started to get mad. I stopped waiting for him to come home, and stopped going downstairs to check on him.

Today, I'm no longer a kid. I've graduated from college and got a job. Dad's business has got back on track. Things are better now. Yet the uncomfortable silence between Dad and me persisted.

Two days before my birthday last year, Dad came home early. As usual, I helped him carry his bags into his study. When I turned to leave, he said, "Hey, would you like to help me clean my comb?" I looked at him a while, then took the comb and headed to the sink.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He looked at it and smiled. But this time, I noticed something different. My dad has aged. He has wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiles, yet his smile is still as heartwarming as before. The smile of a father who just wants a good life for his family. Dad carefully placed his comb on top of his wallet.

After so many years, he still organizes his personal items in the same meticulous way. I guess some things never change. And for that, I'm glad.

From the age of 6, Samirah Horton was bullied（欺凌）by her classmates for the things that made her different-her size and her sharp voice. Rather than giving up, Horton decided to pick up a microphone and make sure other children knew they weren't alone. "I didn't want other kids to go through that experience, "says Horton, "especially at a very young age. Now, alongside attending eighth grade classes, she's also building an anti-bullying platform to reach students across the country.

For as long as Horton remembers, she's felt a special connection to music. She remembers her mother always having the radio on, and her father teaching her how to deejay（主持）. Music gives her unlimited power to do the duty. "It's music that fuels my mission, allowing me to spread this important message, " she says. Now as the Kid DJ for her hometown team, you can hear anything from the hip-hop classics to songs of her own, including the anti-bullying song "No You Won't Bully Me".

Her message has reached beyond the DJ set. At 8, Horton turned one of her songs into a 26-page picture book, which has reached thousands of people across America. In the book, she references the over 160, 000 students who miss school daily for fear of being bullied.

Horton isn't sure exactly what the future holds, but for now, she's positive about leading her school's student government. "I don't know exactly what I'll be doing, but I know I'll be making a positive influence on the world, "she says. She's already on her way, but her biggest achievement in her own eyes is persuading others not to doubt themselves along the way. "Don't care what anybody tells you, "'she says. "You are never too young to make a change"
