Teen's Surprise Gift To Classmate Brings Him To Tears

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- A high school student in South Carolina has a new pair of shoes, thanks to a classmate's random act of kindness that's now going viral.

Jahiem mentioned that he needed a new pair of shoes but couldn't afford them on his own.

That's when his long-time friend and classmate, Sofi Cruz Turner, decided to help.

She recently got a job and decided to use the money that she earned to buy Jahiem new shoes, socks and a backpack.

Jahiem was so overwhelmed when she presented him the gift that he started crying.

Sofi says Jahiem is always happy and never misses class or any of his assignments.
