A high school in Memphis, Tennessee finds itself in the spotlight after an inspiring act of kindness in the school's halls was caught on video.
As Fox 13 reported, Michael Todd's first year of high school was off to a rough start and sadly, he was no stranger to tough times at school.
But he says that's not out of the ordinary.
"I've been bullied my entire life," he said. "I really don't have clothes at home. My mom can't buy clothes for me because I'm growing too fast."
"When I saw people laugh and bully him, I felt like I needed to do something," Graham told Fox 13. So, Graham and his friend and fellow football player, Antwan Garrett, spent the weekend raiding their own closets for Michael.
"I got some brand new shoes I can give him and a few items," Garrett said.
In the video, you can clearly see that at first, Michael wasn't sure what to think.
"He wasn't smiling or anything, and I was like, 'I think this is going to make you smile,'" said Kristopher Graham. "'We're in the same third period and I apologize for laughing at you, and I want to give you something to make it up."
"You guys are awesome," Michael told the pair. "You guys are the best guys of my entire life."
Others even from out of state are pitching in to help, sending clothes for Michael to the school.
If Graham and Garrett wanted to inspire others to help the less fortunate, they sure succeeded with just an act of kindness.
