Principal Served Surprise of his Life!

[@BillyAlabama]

The important thing here is not to wish for more people like Dana, but for us to figure out how to shape our own lives to be more like him.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Totally!

[@nikwalters1029]

The world needs more Dana's, Gregs, and Jodis. Thank you all for investing in your community and kids!

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Yep. 💯

[@terronjones5812]

I held it together pretty good until dad walked up.....after that I was a bucket of tears.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

That’s the part that gets me every time I watch it. - Brent

[@devinsilva2102]

I been at my lowest in life recently. I really needed to see this. Gives me hope

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Hang in there. You’re going to get through this.

[@geetanjalinegi4719]

Hold on this hope dear. Hope you get through this time soon🌻

[@BillyAlabama]

It’s amazing how something like this can pick you up. I’m where you are. I get it. ❤️

[@Yourdad.com456]

[@benedictcumberbatch4275]

lol like you know him.

[@chocolatechips1776]

I don’t know him but I see the goodness in Mr. Dana’s face! God bless him! Thank you to everyone who recognized and honored this wonderful man. He deserves all of the love because he gives so much of it!!!

[@bikeman1396]

Damn that brought on the feels! What a deserving man!

[@theammyjreacts]

Omg😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm speechless and crying like a baby

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

We feel ya! Thanks for watching.

[@carolkeck9006]

What a wonderful guy the world needs more like him

[@latoyadickerson632]

We Need More Man Like Mr Dana in this World May God Bless Him and Keep him.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

For sure.

[@delmahnori1582]

This is the world should be doing. Instead of being bully, appreciate people who are working hard to makes a difference in others. God bless those who strive to make a better world for everyone to live in peace.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Absolutely. Well said.

[@Lilly-P]

Dana...what a dude with a big heart!..

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

💯

[@baygona]

It baffles me how this channel doesn't have more views and subscribers. They do so much good. I cry every time.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Appreciate that!

[@benedictcumberbatch4275]

It’s kinda fake from what I see. Doesn’t show the truth inside these people and masks over the video with cheery music.

[@joseluisperezjr3285]

This is truly remarkable! We need more of this instead of all the negative things we deal with on a daily basis

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Glad you liked this!

[@Easilydistractedbydogs0330]

Cried like a baby! We need more people like him in this world. More people to believe in struggling youth in all communities!! You are an angel Dana!!

[@benedictcumberbatch4275]

These people support the same people that cause young folks to struggle. The same oppressors who want to force young kids into jobs like McDonald’s and Wendy’s to work till they’re shriveled up like raisins.

[@audradavis1347]

Omg... All the anger in the world has been getting me down lately, I'm so glad i found y'alls channel. Y'all got me uplifted and bawlin lol. Thanks for your great work!

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

You are so welcome! Glad u found us.

[@jmann171]

Proofs in the pudding folks. Every single life matters. Just look what you can accomplish with it. 👏

[@brookeperlman3338]

This video is unbelievable! I’ve cried each time I watch it. We need to recognize more people like Dana!! They are all out there and are the lifeline of our cities!

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Happy tears are the best.

[@susanmatthews3805]

You are not alone 😭

[@neetneet8264]

We don't hear enough about these kind of beautiful human beings. Love this story.

[@SpiritualSoldier144]

This is absolutely Beautiful! God is Good!💜💜💜

[@gonzalosteinbach2461]

People like Dana makes me think that no matter What there's still hope for humankind.

[@LaCoraStephens]

Beautiful. Blessings to everyone involved. And to Principal Dana Hammond, may God continue to bless your path.

Totally needed to see this today! So awesome!

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

So good it found you when it did! Thanks for watching.

[@elizabethcotter5615]

Oh my goodness!!!! After the guy said so beautifully to him that his mother is looking down at him, then he says, “Oh! Who is that man coming through?” FMe I lost it so bad!!!!! Congratulations to you sir!!! I think the 3 blind mice (keeping it safe without offending anyone at all) can even see how damn loved and appreciated you are to the whole community!!! I already bloody love you myself and I don’t even know you!!! Stay true and stay strong for yourself, your family and everything that you believe in. Sending my love and best wishes to you from a state far away from you called Victoria, Australia. You touched my heart so much. xxx

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

🙏

[@pcrandom527]

I had an awesome HS principal as well. He encouraged his students to do our best. Unfortunately, he died from cancer the summer after I graduated. You never showed he was sick and suffering. Strong, kind, loving, and invested in the future of his kids. I've been blessed to know him.

[@Wisdomslight]

I’m crying like a baby!!! Why is there more like this out here; I feels sooo good to see this! Can you imagine? Having this feeling daily! I can ! Humanity at it’s best!❤

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

Well said.

[@makeit-takeit6707]

I've always admired people who get up everyday, and try to make somebody else's life better. It takes an unselfish mindset, to do that. I'm not saying every human being is automatically selfish. It's just that some people seem to see themselves, in everyone. And if you love yourself, it's a lot easier to love everyone else.

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

us too!

[@makeit-takeit6707]

@@OfficialDUDEbenice It's unanimous.👍

[@aprilharper5726]

Hey Is Awesome President And Loving Man. And That’s Why Those Kid’s Love Him So Much. ❤❤❤

Wow, the world needs more people like you, what an amazing inspirational person Dana is and so are all the students he teaches. Thank you also to Greg & Jodi.

Oh man, this one got to me! To be a man who believes in children’s futures… he deserves everything.

Dana!!!! I am so proud of you and so grateful to know you. Because of your crazy-curiosity-meets-ACTION-personality… our paths crossed just as you have crossed so many kids’ paths. You are a role model for Keanen and me. We are ALL better for knowing you. Stay strong. We lift you up! We love you, sir~

I cried a year ago when I 1st saw this and it didn't fail to get me teary eyed this time as well ❤

[@chadurbanski3468]

Dana this service doesn't just matter. It's essentail to bring a community that has been known for being so down to highest levels it can reach. With people like him it can be the opposite of what Crenshaw and Inglewood have been known for. And it starts with the up and coming generations. Good work sir.

[@carolyntrahan9751]

Truly love The great love and quality of education he has provided for them all in learning and in developing their character for life ; He’s A Real Hero in Life

Glad it found you when it did!

[@briandonegan8480]

We need so much more of this. It is sad that we don't and even sadder that when we do they turn into taxable events. We ought to reward kindness while not punishing the recepients of said kindness especially if they are being rewarded for their own acts of making their communities, state, Nation, and world a better place. I am continuously inspired by the extreme acts of kindness and gratitude I see here

[@OfficialDUDEbenice]

We agree.
