Later you find out it doesn't have to be someone you love, to make you happy.

But even more memorable? Seeing my student -- a scrappy Hispanic kid who didn't know how to wrap gifts -- lean over to his friends and whisper with tears in his eyes, "That's the girl I shopped for! She likes it!"

You gave that "scrappy Hispanic kid" the bestest gift of all, the knowlege of how to make himself happy.
Thanks for the story and the great work you do.
