ASIDE from parents and relatives, teachers are an important figure in a child’s life given that their actions can impact them whether in a negative or positive manner.
A teacher’s concern for her student garnered widespread online attention after her kind gesture of getting the young boy new shoes.
The teacher, Aina, shared on TikTok the interaction between her and the student when she gifted him a brand new pair of school shoes.
The viral video showed the young boy’s black school shoes worn out, looking frayed with the soles tearing apart.
“Actually, the student is not being tested but rather I am tested to see if I just stand by and observe or do something about it,” she captioned her post.

“He will remember this moment for the rest of his life,” a user said.
