AWESOME: Teacher gives student shoes off his own feet for graduation (PICS)

A Virginia substitute teacher’s heartwarming gesture for one of his students has gone viral.

Vohn Lewis, of George Mason Elementary stepped into action when a fifth grader’s shoe broke shortly before he was set to walk in graduation.

When glue didn't keep the boy's shoe together, Lewis offered him the shoes off his own feet.

The rest as they say, is internet history.

By the way, not only is Lewis a substitute teacher, he also serves as a mentor in the Brothers United Mentoring Program.

“If I see a child with a shoe untied or a collar messed up, I can’t sit there and let him walk by,” Lewis said. “I’ll definitely walk up to them and let them know, and that’s just me.”
