Using money earned from her first parttime job, Sofi Cruz from Conway, South Carolina, brought one of her classmates to tears with a wonderful gift in the new school year. Sofi says her friend Jahiem has always been that one student who does all of his work perfectly and never misses school, always helping teachers in class, and always being a happy human being.
Jahiem had said that he needed new shoes and Sofi said she had been wanting to get him something special for a while. So one day, Sofi pulled her newly earned money together and bought a pair of shoes for her best classmate.
She surprised Jahiem in class one day, approaching his desk slowly with a bag.“I've known you for a very long time—since third grade. And you are very special to me,” Sofi told Jahiem.
“You are a very good friend to me. And, since I got a job, I've been thinking about getting something special for somebody, and this is for you,” she said, handing him the bag. Jahiem opened the bag and found a shoebox with new shoes inside. She also gave him a pair of socks to go with his new shoes.
The unexpected act of kindness completely moved Jahiem. He began crying, resting his head on the shoebox in disbelief. Sofi walked around his desk and gave him a hug. Another classmate helped record the moment.
“Seeing him crying was very emotional,” Sofi wrote in a Facebook post that has since been shared 1,800 times.“I am so thankful to know that giving Jahiem those shoes made him so happy and allowed me to realize that giving someone something so special can be lifechanging.”
After drying his tears of happiness,Jahiem proudly sported his brandnew shoes, gifted to him with love.
