Most kids just need the right guidance. They have needs that are not being met, people ignore them and don’t give them the right kind of attention. However, when that special person who looks at them as a human and dedicates time and love to them comes along amazing things can happen. Often these people are teachers, the amazing women and men who work tirelessly to try and make sure kids make it through these key early parts of life.

Watch the video below and I dare you to try and not get a tear in your eye!
