I "WISH" someone like you had been in my life, when I was a child growing up in the projects of Chicago. I was taught I was worthless, and that was how I lived my life. It is so inspirational to see that there are still people in this world that genuinely care. God bless.

I absolutely agree. Being in Education is HARD hard work. Schools like this break even the most caring and passionate educators especially when they don’t have support from upper administration. To do what she has done is nothing short of a miracle. God has moved her to persevere and keep going, and to start seeing a turn around is truly saving the lives of so many kids.

My son's coach always said kids don't care how much you know until they know how much you care.

I may not have graduated with my class of 2020, but I will graduate. My mom is gonna be proud of me Update: Sunday April 23rd. 2023 Im very happy to announce that I’ve finally graduated, passed my end of semester test and finally earned my 22 and a half credits, what’s really awesome is that my graduation is being held on the same day as my birthday this year, June 2nd. To all those that believed in me, thank you for your kind words. I really did it! I did it everyone! Class of 2023 Aceleration academy! 😁

This video was very touching. LINDA had all my attention the entire video. She made me tear up with her passion and drive to help these students recover. Reminds me of how passionate our teachers were back in the day. We need more like her in all schools. I want to say Thank you Linda.

Being im from Philadelphia and still live here, this makes me happy! My brother is a math teacher at a public school and Philly. He goes above and beyond for his students, buying them jackets, book bags, etc. Its nice to see someone else making an impact on the children and in their lives. A BIG thank you to this woman for never giving up, and doing all that she has!!!

Has she been awarded person of the year yet? She needs to be. She's giving these kids something they probably would never have seen, Love and Hope

Good God. There has to be a non-profit out there that can help the students with university application fees, SAT's/ACT's, prep courses, money to close any gaps that scholarships may not cover.

Man, I was not expecting to shed a couple of tears today. Whew! God bless this woman!

Watching this has been the highlight of my morning. It feels good to see someone making a difference in the youth's lives. I had tears in my eyes throughout the entire video.

I'm from Philly, we need more principal with the compassion that principal Linda has for Strawberry Mansion School...that's all children need is someone to meet them where they are tell them and show them.that you love them and believe in them....powerful...one young man never thought of going to college...young lady received a full-ride....Strawberry Mansion High School have a Angel....God placed Principal Linda right there for a reason...God Blessed her.

She has a special spot in heaven. God bless her for infinity. 🙏🏽♥️

All a child needs is Someone to See Them, Believe In Them and Give Them a Splash of Hope. This is what She is giving these Students everyday plus looking ahead for their future.

Watching some of this videos makes me realize how blessed I've been

She truly is inspiring. She found hope and ignite it even in a place where there seems to be nothing left. May God Bless Her!!!

Teachers are not quick to give up. They are beaten, and broken down by a system that doesn't give them enough time, care and resources to care for our nation's children. This woman's resilience is superhuman. She is an exceptional individual. My educator friends have seen so many of the most compassionate, caring teachers crack under the pressure of an unforgiving system, unforgiving parents, and an indifferent public who thinks they just "give up on difficult children."

This queen is a blessing, and has heart. Its men that wouldnt have made it through what you have, I salute you queen and I hope I can make a difference as big as this. #BlackGirlMajic❤😘

Linda you had me in tears! I am moved that you took the path of love (tough love at times). You left your imprint on these kids. And the ones that had their futures altered bc of your love, they were worth it. Bless you, Linda!❤️

Every child who NEEDS/wants help getting into college. Should be helped!

Until you come a city like Philly you won’t understand. So many kids aren’t loved and taught love, faith, hope. To some those basic things are often overlooked because it’s what they’re a custom to. Love truly conquers all.

brought tears to my eyes!

Phenomenal. Teachers and other community leaders with this type of love, patience and determination to make a difference through love, truly touches my heart and inspires me. It just takes one person to make this kind of a difference.

I wish to god I had a teacher, principal or counselor like her… my teachers were nastier and poisoned your head more than the students would. Sad truth. This is one of the greatest women alive

I’m breathless after watching that…tears streaming…

This lady is remarkable! I remember the first day a student threatened me. It is an unreal experience.

This is the result of a society that turns a blind eye to the horrors that exist in cities occupied by Blacks and Minorities. This is not the MOST DANGEROUS SCHOOL IN AMERICA. There are many more similar to this that they have not shown. For those that have been there, grew up in these circumstances, you know what I am saying. To any of you that have made it out of these Toxic environments I congratulate you. This woman is a exception and cares deeply for the youth and what their potential brings to this nation. This is the real America that they don't want you to see. Next time you see a politician pretending they have a solution, this is the result of their efforts. We as a society have got to do better.

Love is the way! Bless you! Principal Linda!

What a gift she has bestowed upon us with her genuine care for these students. ♥️♥️

what a beautiful video. we need more principles like her who actually love to see our children succeed in life. Her message ring true. I have tears of joy to see Linda Cliatt-Wayman never giving up on these children.

This woman is amazing! This brought tears to my eyes God bless her

Shout out to Ms.Wayman! 🙌🏼

Wow….what an inspirational woman! Ms. Linda may God Bless you for the good deeds you are doing in changing these young peoples lives. Doing this by providing a path out of unfortunate and unhealthy circumstance fostered by promoting self confidence , discipline with loving encouragement. You are a shining light and remarkable example for others to aspire to.

This is what we need more of. When we can show these kids that they are wanted and loved, then they'll respond the way we want. They will see that they are valuable.

Ms Linda. You are loved by all !

So powerful, bless you

I was looking for something..and was lead here. It's just wht I needed..didnt expect to tear. What a woman .♥️

I went to this school and even though it was bad I never had an issue but I commend her for helping these students 💜💜💜

God bless this brave principles and the other people who rescued these kids.

I know what did wasn't much but it is a job no one dared to take. Those kids felt they're important, day by day those kids realize that she mean whatever she's saying.

Amazing woman showed those kids she care ,it's sad when they don't no when they are loved for who they are

Feel that love 💯 real . wish we had a womann like that in school . bless

You made me cry @Linda Cliatt-Wayman

Linda is one powerful woman!

She was my principal at Rhodes in north Philadelphia. She ain't no joke. Smh

Incredibly inspirational!! 🫶🏻🌎💕

Manifesting at its finest!!! I told you it really works

Yeah you have to know the individual and provide the needs and nurturing ……. It’s like washing each limb of the body one by one, but washing them all daily…… then the WHOLE body will reflect the individual washing that you did if each limb…..

Thank you for caring. ❤❤🙌🙌🙌🙏💔🙏

Amazing just amazing. When she tells them she loves them. It hit a nerve. What a woman she shld be on time magazine

God bless this woman. What an inspiration… That said, the greater issue is why America has schools/students like these. I’ve traveled to and lived in different parts of the world and nowhere else is it THIS bad. It’s not about poverty, because look at India, for example. Over population is an understatement. But even the poorest of the poor (literally dirt poor), don’t go to school with these violent, animalistic attitudes (the ‘school’ sometimes being literally a chalkboard propped up against something on a dirt road or sidewalk). Denzel Washington said it best: It’s culture. The academic culture in America needs a huge overhaul.

That’s the only thing that has kept me going over the years. In Hopes that My God wouldn’t let me go through all that I been through and not tell you
