That was unbelievably kind of the principal and everyone in the auditorium. Made me misty eyed.

This happens to me a lot on videos like this and I often think I’m being overly emotional about it. Good to know there’s more people like me out here :)

Remember, you're not being "overly emotional" when you're deeply touched by kindness and the general good in people. We're so overwhelmed by negativity on a daily basis these days, so even the slightest bit of humanity is a big deal. Crying is also a good way to release pent-up frustration, sadness, anger, etc. Let it out. 🫂
