have on someone. The custodian who cleans my room is an older lady from Haiti. She is working two jobs and struggling to give her kids a better life. She has a son who is starting college. We often chat as we both work and I usually leave her little treats at the end of the day. She came to my class yesterday and said she needed to ask me a special favor. She choked back tears as she asked me to teach her to read (which in turn made me tear up). I was honored she felt she could come to me.
