<human>: My mom works as a principal for middle schoolers.  I came home from college today and saw a small NFL jersey.  Turns out she had a middle schooler who's dad up and left a couple of years ago, and started a different family.  The boy gave up on school, and missed something around 60 days last year.  She told him she'd buy him a jersey if he went to school for the whole month.

Here's the truly wonderful part.  He has gone to school every day, and stayed after school for help every single day.  The kid walked into my moms office and asked if he went to school for 2 months instead of one, if he could trade his jersey so that all of his siblings could get presents for Christmas.  My mom looked at me and said "this is why I get up every morning".  That kid is going to have a Christmas he deserves.

Right in the feels.
