I was walking through the hallway and I walked up to a brown-skined boy with dreadlocks who happened to be from the same area as I'm from, the DMV (Dc, Maryland, and Virginia) metropolitan area. While I was telling him that I was selling candy to raise money for my eye surgery, I spotted a custodian listening to me. He pulled his wallet out while saying, "I'm not doing this because of your story. I'm not doing this because I want candy." He handed me four dollars and said, "I'm doing this because you have a beautiful smile." That was the sweetest thing I heard that day. Sometimes the people who are the most overlooked are the ones who will give the greatest encouragement and support. Let's begin to recognize our custodians who are helping us in the background.
