You may easily discover a way to brighten someone’s day if you look hard enough.
Unfortunately, most of the time we’re lost in our own worlds, too preoccupied with our own problems to see what others are going through. Sofi Cruz, a young kid from South Carolina, recently got the opportunity to help someone—and she did not pass it up.
In a Facebook post, the youngster detailed how she was having a chat with her good buddy Jaheim when he made an odd observation.
The remark itself wasn’t particularly notable, but something about it lingered with Sofi over the following three days. «For the past week and a half, I have been planning on doing something special for a dear friend of mine,» she said. «His name is Jahiem.»
«I’ve known Jahiem since he was in Mrs. Dragotta’s third-grade class.»
«He has always been the kid that completes all of his work on time, never skips school, is constantly assisting the instructor with things in class, and is always a joyful human being.»
Last week, not wanting to appear ‘in need,’ Jahiem begged, ‘Can someone get me a pair of shoes?’ I dislike mine, and I’m a [size] 10–11.
«I’ve always wanted to give him something but never had the money or the confidence to do it,» the youngster stated.
However, this time, with the help of her family and a new job, Sofi put her surprise into action.
«Since I’ve gotten a job and have been working really hard, I got the money together and bought him a pair of shoes the next day. My granddaddy helped me out, as well. »
The considerate Sofi surprises Jahiem in the video linked, which has been shared thousands of times on social media and shown on media stations around the country.
Sofi enters the classroom with a rucksack and approaches her unwitting buddy.
Sofi informs Jahiem that she and he have known each other for a long time and that he is a particular friend to her. She says that she’s been wanting to do something kind for someone since she got a job, and she decided it would be him.
«This is for you,» she adds as she places the backpack on his desk.
