If you look hard enough, you can easily find a way to change someone\u2019s day.Sadly, most of the time, we\u2019re off in our own worlds, too concerned with our daily lives to really recognize what others are going through. Sofi Cruz, a young teen from Southern Carolina, recently had an opportunity to help somebody\u2014 and she definitely didn\u2019t miss out.<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post, the teen explained how she had been having a conversation with her good friend Jaheim when he made an interesting comment.The comment itself wasn\u2019t too noteworthy, but for some reason, something about it stuck with Sofi for the next few days. She wrote: \u201cThe past week and a half, I have been planning on doing something special for a good friend of mine. His name is Jahiem.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI have known Jahiem sine the 3rd grade in Mrs. Dragotta\u2019s class.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has always been the student where he does all of his work when due, never misses school, always helping the teacher out with stuff in class, and always being a happy human being.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLast week, he didn\u2019t want to sound \u2018in-need\u2019, but Jahiem asked, \u2018Can someone buy me a pair of shoes? I don\u2019t like mine and I wear a [size] 10-11.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always thought about getting him something before but never had the money or guts to do it,\u201d the teen continued.<\/p>\n
However, this time, with the help of her family and a new job, Sofi put her surprise into action.
\n\u201cSince I\u2019ve 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 Grandaddy helped me out, as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the following video, which has been shared thousands of times on social media and broadcast on media outlets around the nation, we see the thoughtful Sofi giving Jahiem his surprise.<\/p>\n
Sofi tells Jahiem they\u2019ve known each other for a long time, and he is a very special friend to her. She explains that since she got a job, she\u2019s been wanting to do something nice for someone, and she decided it would be him.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is for you,\u201d she says, dropping the backpack onto his desk.<\/p>\n
Jahiem wears a slight grin as he opens the bag and pulls out a box.<\/p>\n
Jahiem thanks Sofi, but she tells him there\u2019s more stuff inside. He pulls out item after item, revealing she had made him a goodie bag of clothing including shirts and socks.<\/p>\n
Still, Jaheim keeps it together\u2014 but when Sofi leans in for a hug, he completely starts to break down.
\n\u201cWhen giving him his stuff and watching him open his bag, all my emotions were coming out. Seeing him cry was very emotional because I could see that he didn\u2019t know what to think.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sofi wrote:<\/p>\n
\u201cI am so thankful that giving Jaheim those shoes made him so happy and allowed me to realize that giving someone something so special can be life-changing.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLove you Jahiem, with everything in me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
