Over 30 years ago, the principal at the school where Joseph Sonnier worked as a custodian noticed the smile that was always plastered to his face and the great attitude he always had – even while doing menial work. He gave Joseph a challenge: grade papers instead of picking them up.
The man with the biggest smile in the universe took it to heart. While continuing to work as a janitor, he earned his undergraduate and master's degrees in education. Today? He’s the principal of THAT VERY SAME school! Joseph Sonnier has one more reason to smile, and he’s given us one more reason to hope.
If your heart is warmed and you’re inspired by this incredible role model, SHARE it with a friend. It may be just the bit of encouragement they need today.
