Kind Teacher Gives His Shoes to Student with a Broken Pair
Graduation day is a momentous event in a person’s life and everyone certainly wants to look their best. However, there are many students who not able to dress up well because of their financial circumstances or for some other reason.
The teacher was identified as Christian Carpio of Labuan Central School in Labuan, Zamboanga City, in southern Philippines.
The school was having its graduation ceremony when Sir Christian noticed one of the students wearing broken shoes that were held together by scotch tape.
Upon seeing the boy’s shoes and knowing that they’ll be taking photos during the ceremony, the teacher quickly took off his shoes and gave it to the boy.
His fellow teacher (Facebook handle Van Nessa) shared the photos after feeling inspired over what he did.
“Godbless you doi Zion Xian.. bili na lng u ulit shoes,” Sir Christian’s fellow teacher wrote, tagging him in the post and also writing that she felt like crying while watching him give his shoes to the kid.
Needless to say, the kid was able to march with pride and honor on stage – thanks to his teacher’s shoes.
That’s not to say, of course, that using less-than-ideal clothes can ruin a student’s big moment. But netizens truly appreciated what the teacher did.
Sir Christian hopes that his story will inspire others to help, especially those who can afford to share material things to others who are less fortunate.
According to reports, Sir Christian is well known for being generous and kindhearted to the students of their school.
Kudos, Sir Christian!
How to Repair Broken Shoes
Shoe repair options depend on the damage.
If the top separates from the soles, you can use shoe glue or other adhesives that work with rubber and the top part’s material (canvas, rubber, leather, etc.).
For shoes with holes, you might need to glue the parts together or have a shoe repair shop sew these parts together.

SHS Student Brings Photos of Late Parents on Graduation Day
Graduation day is one of the best days in a student’s life, but it’s not always the happiest for all.
Some also experience a bittersweet moment because their loved ones aren’t with them. While many are due to having OFW parents who can’t be home for the special, others are because the parents have already passed on.
SHS student Juvelyn Dela Torre Eugenio, 18, of North Cotabato made netizens cry after she carried her parents’ framed photos as she marched and posed on stage to receive her diploma.
She explained that during recognition days and other special events when she was younger, it was always her mother who would accompany her on stage.
She wants to share her success and milestones with her parents, but they’re no longer around.
They lost their father to heart failure in July 2020.
In 2022, the siblings decided to let their mother enjoy a vacation with her older children in Manila, only to discover that she was sick and already in the terminal stages of a stage 4 battle with the Big C. They lost her shortly thereafter.
Juvelyn shared that losing their parents took a toll on her mental health, especially because she had to stand as a parent to her younger brother.
On graduation day, she vowed that she wouldn’t cry despite seeing all the other students with their parents.
But she broke down on stage when a concerned teacher asked her about her parents and offered words of consolation after she showed her their photos.
Despite the challenges, Juvelyn plans on continuing her journey as she dreams of becoming a lawyer someday.

Elementary Students Praised for Playing “One Day” Using Ukuleles
Elementary students at a school in Mindanao earned praise online after playing “One Day” using their ukuleles for a presentation.
Many netizens were impressed about their skills, with some commenting that it’s a difficult piece to play on a ukulele, yet most of them nailed it! Wow.
Elementary Students Play “One Day” Using Their Ukuleles
A lot of people these days have this mistaken notion that kids are only fond of using cellphones and no longer enjoy playing with traditional toys or learning how to use a traditional musical instrument – because you can find lots of options for those online or with their phones.
But a group of students from Dipolog Pilot Demonstration School impressed netizens with their skills in playing the ukulele as they presented “One Day” for the school’s 100-year celebration.
Seated on the steps of their school, the kids played the musical instruments seamlessly, except for a few issues.
And while some netizens pointed out that one of the kids appear to be struggling with the proper chords and kept shifting around during the entire performance, the overall presentation is still quite impressive!
Many netizens even commented on the post of the Facebook page “Kung Taga-Oroquieta City Ka” that they were deeply touched by the kids’ presentation and were crying while watching. Awww.
A lot also praised the coaches who made this possible – and others felt proud of the children even if they had no idea who these little ones are.
It’s also quite impressive to see that the class had so many ukuleles. It is unknown whether the kids own the musical instruments or if the school provided them, but what’s clear is that their presentation is truly admirable.
What’s a Ukulele?
A ukulele is a type of string musical instrument that’s smaller than a guitar. It usually has nylon strings as opposed to the metal used in standard guitars.
The instrument also has four strings but isn’t considered a “kid’s instrument” only. Instead, it can be played by kids and adults alike.

In the post of her mom, Rose, it showed that the family’s main source of income is from selling taho. It was through this that the parents were able to send their kids to school.
Rose lamented that there were times when people looked down on their because they are “just” taho vendors.
Thankfully, the family didn’t mind what these people are saying. Instead, they persevered and put their faith in God.
She thanked all her kids for cooperating and striving hard to succeed in their studies even if their parents are only supporting them by selling taho.
