    Janitors don't get enough respect. Even back when I hated everything else about school, the janitors were always a bright spot in my day. They were much like this man, kind, caring and proud of the work they did. They were dignified gentleman in a position too few see as having dignity.

    What an awesome person. Custodians work sooo hard, especially the ones working in middle and high schools.

      Thanks, from 26 year old middle school custodian. I will say this the only kids to really ever thank me was the drama club I gave up 14 hours of one my days off for. It almost made me tear up.

    I really appreciate this guy's attitude. Almost all of the school janitors I've encountered in my life have acted really grumpy around students. No one can see what's going on in someone's life behind the scenes so it's not my place to judge, but I really appreciate this guy sharing his positivity with others despite the challenges he has faced in life ❤️.

  • @RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber
    @RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber 3 ปีที่แล้ว +40

    I love how this doesn't have ANY dislikes so far. Seems everyone (I'm no exception here) remembers that one janitor who, without being a certified teacher, still managed to teach humility, acceptance, and gratitude. Or at least they're inspired by this story.

      I'm 57 and I remember the janitor at my elementary school. I always felt bad for him when someone vomited. But he always had a smile for us. Very nice man. I hope he had a good and happy life.

    @davebrunero5529 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Back in college I worked in a lab. And while I worked there we had two custodians... The first guy was a jerk and criminal (he was discovered stealing from soda donation jar)... The first guy moved on for some reason... The second guy was an outstanding and good man! He was not the smartest person around from perspective (but walking around a building with nuclear engineers, that would be true for most people)... But he was a genius in comparison to the rest of us when it came to cleaning... The real reason he was a good custodian, he cared about doing a good job and keeping the building clean! After that, I have always held a lot more respect for a good custodian...

    I taught at one elementary school where the kids would come back from the middle school just to see Mr Bill, the custodian. I teach high school now and I don't know what we'd do without Ms Simonton and her AMAZING custodial crew.

  • @kidglove100
    @kidglove100 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    I owned a large cleaning service 30 YEARS and one thing i know for real is that GOD LOVES JANITORS MORE THEN OTHER PEOPLE ON THE EARTH .They are more important then the Presidents of the companies they clean for.....in fact they are there for more then cleaning they are Gods angels because when the Presidents are fired at night they call the Janitors in thier office and cry on thier shoulders they hear the pain of others and help them with Gods word........ but people laugh at them and put them down and some aholes wont even speak to them .....I TELL YOU THIS GOD LOOKS OVER THEM AND YOU SHOULD RESPECT THEM OVER EVERYONE YOU KNOW AT WORK...I LOVE JANITORS BECAUSE THEY CLEAN MORE THEN EARTHLY DIRT....THEY CLEAN SOULS

    My elementary school had Mr. Albert/1960's. He lived in a house on the school property with his family. To this day, I remember how clean everything was and nothing ever seemed to stay broken long and everything was always in its place and no trash laying around...inside or out. He (one person) basically kept the entire school going and cleaned from top to bottom. At least a couple times a year I think of Mr. Albert, and I am now in my 60's, the man made a lasting impression upon me.

    Good story. I was actually thinking a few days ago of the custodian at my dad's place. As a kid (40 yrs ago), dad would take us to the office when he had to go back at night. The custodian was always good to us. His name was also Mr. Hinton.
