In 1985, while working as a janitor at Port Barre Elementary School in Louisiana, Gabe Sonnier received life-changing encouragement from principal Westley Jones, who told him, “I'd rather see you grading papers than picking them up.”
Inspired by those words, Sonnier continued working while pursuing his education.
At age 39, he returned to college, earned an associate degree, then a bachelor's degree in elementary education, and later completed a master's degree.
He went on to become a teacher and dedicated himself to helping students succeed.
After spending 27 years as the school's custodian and continuing his journey in education, Gabe Sonnier achieved what once seemed impossible.
In 2013, he was appointed principal of the very same school he had cleaned for decades.
His remarkable story is a powerful reminder that encouragement, determination, and lifelong learning can change the course of a person's life, no matter when the journey begins.

It makes some people are very uncomfortable and that is why they are suppressing African-American history..

He only free this slaves in the south to punish the Confederate.. the war the Civil War was never about free in the slaves. It was about keeping the union together.. the confederate wanted to keep slaves and they not wanted to keep the Union intact.
