High school janitor goes above and beyond

- When a dedicated employee earns praise for "A Job Well Done," it isn't always for the job he or she officially holds. Steve Hartman has a heartening example in a custodian at Trinity High School in Euless, Texas.
School counselor - Master's in Social Work
Janitor - PhD in Life
LOL , exactly....theory...application...
Breaking news, school counselor fired because school janitor did his job for him
PHD -IN COMMON SENSE (WISDOM)
School: uhh..lets fire this counselor he already isn’t worth it. Keep the janitor.
@Tyler Whittemore Please! School counselors do great a great job. But everybody can't be a counselor.
That's why I show the same respect to the janitor as I would a CEO
Yes! Absolutely! Love and wisdom comes in different packages...
Amen!
Jose Perez you just read a quote and wrote this 😂😂😂
@@saulgoodman2438 hahahaha
Me too
I don’t show respect to CEO’s
I bet this man won’t quit his job even if he got all the money in the world.
woodun't, the word is woodun't !!!
I bet he would. Because he would probably want to help a lot of these kids go to college and stuff.
Mr.Charles he works with me at Little Ceasers now wow
Mike carter jr You know why?
Armyy and you’re comment is...INSFIRES MAN yaa
They should give him extra pay for counseling he doesn’t have a degree in counseling but he has great advice that works.
No, he doesnt do it for the money. But they should give him something big- like a home or vacation. Sumpin lol!
@@tawandajones957 even if he doesn’t do it for the money, he should be paid for his work.
He does it because he can, and out of the kindness of his heart. If people were given hand outs like this with say, a lot more janitors would be "giving advice". Not to downplay him at all, bless his soul, but there's a fine line between premeditated effort for compensation, and kindess, with no reward
I look up to individuals like him for support in the field I’m in! He’s inspirational!
Perhaps someone can setup something in his area to donate something food- help with other things
“If I clean a toilet, and you sit on that toilet, you ca rest assured knowing that it’s the cleanest toilet you’ve ever sat on.”
I NEVER take clean toilets for granted. Thank you Sir for honoring your work.
If I gotta go number 2, I hold in the poo because at school, the toilets are not cool.

true!

That is a truly rich man
+ibezag0 Very true.
I totally agree. When I see school administration get aggressive on silly dress codes at proms. Or so many illogical responses to student behavior (bullies vs the people being bullied, etc). I wonder who are the true teachers here. The man with common sense and caring, or the people that put the letter of the law above the spirit of the law. Politics have long ago entered the school system. It is a sad state of affairs.
I think you can see the sadness he had because he might have not had a father figure or a man in his life to look up to and talk to. He is trying to make sure that doesn't happen to other kids, its amazing.
ibezag0 I don’t live in America... I don’t feel special 😂
Truly !
This man is what the Black Community needs. A Father figure to stand by there youth.
not just the black community lol
The Apex Wolf u don’t understand what they’re saying
Absolutely because BLM won't do it
Democratic policies changed the black community from being the most married two part group in America to 70% single parent homes in a span of 50 years. Thanks to the racists liberals.

Any man who has discovered that inner spirit can say this, regardless of the role society has asked him to perform.
I can and so do More and more every day :)

IMMEDIATELY WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS WAITING FOR HIM TO PULL OUT THE BELT
A school custodian, enjoying life, loving his job, and being a father to kids that need that love and guidance...

Im still in 11th but ive spoken to Mr. Charles a few times
And officer Axton
That's really neat. I hope you guys will remember him and invite him to your college graduations one day.
It's always the janitors that are wise and humble enough to be a janitor, and that's a compliment
"Doesn't matter what you do for a living, it's what you do for the living"

Great human being for a fact
I go to Trinity and Mr. Clark is truly an amazing man! He truly can be there for you
Going there next school year. Hope to see him
MicroFSXPilot Haha, you seen him yet?
Yup I have, seen him around the cafeteria all the time. He is truly an amazing man
MicroFSXPilot Lol, that's sick.
Viktor Vasilev take his advice he tells you right
This man is the living definition that you can make a difference in peoples lives whether you're a brain surgeon or a school janitor
Should be on national news.
A vise man once said, "treat the janitor with the same respect as the boss"
i will!
a man like this that loves his job no matter the pay is richer than any billionaire
That’s my uncle. He schoolin everybody 💪🏾
Love your uncleeee he’s so empathetic

Rich means to have a great number of something, to have an abundance or to be simply wealthy. I see where you tried to go with this but no.
@@TJ-kj9ki he has a great number of respect
BUT...he's still a custodian, and not a councilor. Promote that man!!
He doesn't have a problem being a custodian. He takes pride in his job. I bet he's right where he wants to be.
Thank you for the thought, But it won't work because the official councelors are under unreasonable regulations.
Naw, he can probably reach more kids like this than as a councilor. He's doing a good work, don't mess with it.
S B is have this man as my principle
He is in right position!
Fact: a custodian knows more about the happenings in a school than the administration knows! We see all, we hear all we know all! If we don't we will!
When one is in that role the whole school is yours. You have the opportunities to interact with the students on a different level than in classroom setting. You have the opportunity to build a bond and trust with these students and that my friends is a beautiful opportunity to show each they are worthy and to lead back on track with words of wisdom and insight when needed. It is opportunity to make a difference in ones life. To give a nudge at times with compassion letting you know life at any age is difficult but take that bull and stay on for the 8 seconds because you got this but should the bull buck you I'll be right there to be your rodeo clown!
This reminds me of an old black(Not that it's a crucial detail) man I worked with and we were the only janitors at McDonald's. He actually treated me like I was his son and taught me so much.
He would even see me on my bike carrying all my groceries home around town and pick me up and drive me home. We would just talk about my future and his health as an older man. He was so caring, I actually called him Dad jokingly all that time but he was a huge inspirational figure for me.
Thank you Roland. 🥰
Did this guy work at McDonald’s in king of Prussia PA area?
I'm not religious but I can't think of any other way to say it, GOD BLESS THIS MAN!
METAL MONGREL ditto!-every school needs this..period-end of story!
I hope so and I hope God blesses you too through His precious Son, Jesus Christ!
@@greglaman9548 thank youuuuu!! we all need his kindness!! to help people that really need it!!
God bless!!
A heart of Gold
i'll steal it when he kicks the bucket
@@dragular65
Lol
And
No
"Janitor" is an occupation. Not a synonym for "inferior."
I am just here to say: Give that man a raise. and a hug
money doesn't matter when you love your job
Clone a million of him we need it more than ever
Timoteo Mann wish there was a decent white guy we could clone a million of.
Christopher Nelson when your racist but you can’t be cus black

counseling isn't something you can get a PhD in, it's not something you can learn. it's a talent people are born with, some people are born with the talent to leave huge positive impacts on people's lives.
EpicFace2020 I agree. Well said.
Amen
That's totally garbage
I appreciate the morale, but that pretty inaccurate!
Devxn - I was just thinking saying it’s naruto 😂
The school and those kids are blessed to have him. What a wonderful man. He makes this world a better place everyday.
He is a wonderful man. There was an elevator operator that was nice to me when I was in Jr. High School. She was one of the first ppl to encourage me to go to college. She told me to never be an elevator operator, as it’s hard work. I wish I could find her to thank her, as I’m now an Engineer/Scientist, as well as a doctoral candidate.
I skipped so many days of school one year and a woman in the office told me genuinely to stay and get my education and that she was worried ab me and I genuinely never skipped class again after that
This man is incredible. I have no words. This man is just fuckin incredible.
Josh Bounty Your daughter was incredible.
Dakota Lee wow rude
I remember him! He was a really nice guy and the counseling thing is so true he actually helped me on occasion.
I need him to be a voice actor for Disney 🥺
"I got a great life" - High school janitor helping students mentally.
I have noticed in several of these types of videos, that the most humble, decent, and REAL human beings are those that work at these types of jobs that many in society look down upon. Much respect to all of them for their humility, professionalism, and grace.
Because wealth usually corrupts unless you have a strong heart
Yep, I just work maintenance at my job...well they call it maintenance but its just I guess a cooler term for janitor LOL. You can have all the degrees in the world but they do not mean you can solve everyday problems, or have any common sense, or the ability to help others through their struggles and their dark times....I have helped a lot of kids over the years just by taking the time to listen to them and give them my experience, and what I'd do if I were in their shoes. Something most counselors today have no idea how to do...listen, they think because they are a counselor they know everything and in fact they really have no idea, they just read books and paid for a piece of paper at a college, that is no substitute for real life experience.
@@osman.s1405 yea, i can see that. it's difficult to achieve humility
@@pacifistminigun3987 true. But also wrong. Its maiby easy to acheive humility but harder to keep it sometimes :)
@@TheGlobalNetworkOfficial yea, that's more like it
"Once they trust you, and know you love them, you can get them to buy in to what your selling."
It's a good thing he's a genuinely nice guy, because that can definitely be used to manipulate those kids
+justin anderson thats the reason there is hate because it is taught. If everyone was like this man the world would be a better place.
Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge. Proverbs 23:12
MsMsantrophe If you genuinely love them you will manipulate them so that they live the best life possible. That's why parents are urged to discipline their kids and teach them, so they can grow to be successful.
thats not the point he was getting at he was saying that the things he was selling was kindness or help nt like food for like a product
I like this guy, he’s that wise old man. We need more of him and he’s so relatable to them as well and he enjoys it
This man is doing gods work. He’s such a great kind soul. I wish there’d be more people like him.
I'm a custodian for San Francisco Unified School District . I'm so proud to see this.
god bless you!
Hey this is your boss. Sad news. We layng off next week. Sorry. I had to tell you thru RUclips. I was too scared to tell u to ur face.
Thank you for your work!

I live 5 minutes away from this school. I want to do something for him
@tyler piet hey did you ever do anything for this wonderful man? I sure hope so Tyler! God bless you!
Do it
Then hop to it bring him lunch maybe or get a bunch of the kids to all sign a giant card expressing love and gratitude
@@greeneyes9866 I go to this school i dont think he works here anymore
I wish I lived near that school, I would do something special for him as well
I went to Trinity High School and God I Miss this man. He is one cool dude. T's UP!
My old janitor at my school passed away last year from stomach cancer and I remember he always had his headphones in and would always sing and in the mornings he would ask us how we were doing that morning and he would talk to us and give us advice. His announcement of his death was told by our orchestra teacher because people had noticed that he wasn’t coming to school like he usually did, and it was never the same going to school. Rest in peace Mr. Anthony you are missed 🕊
It quite often takes an old man to teach a young man how to be a real man. Some of my best memories are just sitting talking to gentlemen who were 40-50 years my senior.
Jack K
Yes! Same here.
One of the purest hearts I have ever seen. It just goes to show you don't need to be a millionaire to be something or somebody.
I'm a contractor and the first people I befriend on every assignment are the custodial staff and the security personnel. I bring them homemade treats, holiday gifts, and I always acknowlege them as a team on Mother's and Father's Day. And this man confirms that I am doing the right thing. God bless him!
Get this man a raise. Props to him for going beyond his job.
I have a janitor like this at my school, he is a cool dude
Tristan Baker word
Ohhhh thank u . U talkn about me ....see u in school tomorrow. And please don't miss the bus like u always do.
I adore Mr. Clark. Im an alumni of Trinity High School and can definitely attest to his gift of advice, counseling, and love. Truly an amazing man through and through.
He is not just any janitor he is a dad to all those students and councellor and mentor and coach. He deserves a promotion.
This janitor seems better than all the teachers I had when it comes to morale support.
My high school custodian was the same way as this man. He took the time out of his day to know LITERALLY every single student’s name who walked through my school doors. He genuinely cared about all of the students and was so genuine to everyone he spoke with. I’m glad to see there are others out there too that had staff that went above and beyond for their students.
every school that I've ever attended had an amazing custodian that all the students loved
This is the kind of person who, if he really wanted to, could make it and become successful especially with the publicity of these interviews. But the thing is he knows there is more happiness in helping and loving those around you. I wish one day I could learn as much peace as this man
Truly a humble man. I would love to learn from a man as wise as him
this is a genuine human being
Not all heroes wear capes... public school systems need more people like him
This god gift Deserves a Nobel prize for helping the future
Im a school custodian, and I absolutely love it! I love working with the kids and making sure they're in a clean atmosphere. I too am one who will talk to a student when I see they're in need. There's so much more than just the job specifics. We actually tend to be the first to see most of what's going on before other staff. 💜
I love to be where you are at!The children are fortunate to have you!
Wow! A man who cares about his work and other people! YES!
When I was in highschool, the janitors were my best friends to be honest. They were good at communication and building trust.
He’s such a role model. I definitely want to hang out with him and just talk about life 🙏🏻💛 Hats off, Sir!
Probably the only father figure most kids have had. AMEN to you sir!!!
I had a janitor who loved us and sadly he passed away, he was very caring 🥺
My janitor died at my school because he fell off of the platform lift while hanging up signs.
Fresh Cockmeat Thats not funny ,seriously show some respect
dee Mel who said it was funny??
The person I was talking about deleted their comment
dee Mel oh okay, sorry
:(
I had a janitor like that at my school, he kept a lot of the troubled kids in line and kept it real with every kid. He coached all the sports teams to some capacity while also balancing helping kids and a second job. Looking back I wish I gave him more love for what he does!
This may be an old video but I'm glad I found it! What a truly awesome man! Those kids are so blessed to have him. God bless him! ❤️
Wow, what a saint! God bless you. May you stay strong and healthy to continue to do, what you do
This, this man, is a real man.
Late to the views but I just gotta say that seeing people like this who carry themselves well and are willing to share their wisdom to the world is a blessing.
OH MY GOD, THIS MAN IS AMAZING. I am crying for real from appreciation.
this man deserves all the blessings & success in the world..uhh this just made my day...I hope those kids realize what they have b4 leaving highschool...he truly has their best interest at heart..muah xoxo
Where is the Janitor Medal of Honor
I was a janitor for 40 years we are the heart of the schools Secretaries and Janitors ❤
This man has a PHD IN KINDNESS ❤️Much respect, SIR! Thank you and God Bless YOU🙏🏽❤️
Yes! Kindness...
I love him without meeting him.
I think every school should have someone as kind as this man.
My middle school custodian used to tell people their grades when they didn't have access to them for whatever reason and for some of the students that didnt have lunches he would buy it for them. He was an air force veteran and the school recognized him multiple times for it. He was so nice to everyone and he always got the behavior back. Thanks Mike
he is happy in his job and has the experience of life to lead the weak in the right way ..
this is a wonderful man ..
God bless
What a great man.
wish i would of had someone like that back in my day those kids are very lucky to have someone like that who really cares
More like this. This man is a friend to everyone he meets, and he has made an impact in the lives of students that might have gone down a dark road.
Goes to show you that a DEGREE isn't always necessary to be an effective counselor...
I have 7 degrees. Shut up
Experience is a far better quality, than formal education
Wow, I've never had a dad and this guy hit the nail on the head. So much respect for him.
I remember the whole school cheering on the janitor in high school and he started to cry
It meant that much to him
Look at the way he’s standing and speaking. That’s a noble.
he will definitely have a huge effect on ppl there. He can change ppls lives just because he cares
Yes!
"I got a great life" that's his magic.
One of the first things I was taught in education classes was get to know and appreciate your custodian. Bless this man!
God bless this man. A true angel on earth 💕
Not enough people like this!Well done!
I've had the pleasure of meeting and working with this great man he's truly a Angel
Awww this is like have your grandad or uncle looking out for you at school. A lot of kids need this kind of guy. He sees it all too not only what you read. You know he's got something to tell these kids to set em on their way. Bless his heart x
This man is the example all of us adults should be following
I love this guy
We are running out of great men
Like Mr Charles.
Custodians are more than janitors, theyre heroes.
This man replacing the father figure in countless lives, need more like him 😤
A Man of Honor. We need more and need to find more of these men to help our young.
