While teenagers may act like they don’t pay attention to anything their teachers say, every now and again, they do something to prove they are listening.
When Hector Montaz, a student at Coronado High School in Lubbock, Texas, shocked his football coach/AVID teacher Thomas Walser by giving him a pair of Air Jordan 12s he’s always wanted.
When your kids buy you the shoes you've wanted since you were 12! I love my AVID kids so much! S/O @Augustine__09 pic.twitter.com/yXPHXbhzMI

In the heartwarming video, Montaz presents Walser with the sneakers during class, and Walser is nearly in tears. Montez tells Walser, “You told me sophomore year this is your favorite shoe and you told me your size, but you don’t even remember.”
Its good to give back to the man who's always been by my side.🤘🏼 @CoachWalser pic.twitter.com/W4Sb5tMPim

When Walser opened the box, he was completely taken aback. “Oh man, what? And they are my size. I’ve wanted these since I was in sixth grade and I never got ‘em,” he tells Montez.
Walter posted the touching video to Twitter with the caption, “Its good to give back to the man who’s always been by my side,” showing that Walser has been a huge part of his life.
It’s really special for teachers when their students show how much they appreciate them, although a gift like this is never expected. Montez probably had to save up for a long time to afford those shoes- Jordans go for hundreds of dollars.
It was a kind and selfless gesture by Montez- one that I’m sure his coach will never forget.
