When she started getting a bit emotional, I started tearing up, bless her for doing this job, I can tell she's very compassionate, and humble. I liked this video very meaningful.

Little to nothing, ever works out for me. No apathy intended. Could I claim the Charles Manson case; and therefore be an innocent person; getting sent to prison? Might as well, because I'm a former outcast special eder; and because of 2 Cor 4:4; Eph 2:2.

My older sister has special needs and physical disabilities, and this video means the world to me because I love her so much as well as all the disabled kids I've had the privilege to meet through her and people don't want to expect a lot from these kids. But they are so incredible and everyday they inspire me. The school district that I live in has recently started a basketball team for kids with disabilities, and it's worked a lot like the Coffee Cart! It's really brought the community together, and I've gotten to know my sister's teammates better too. I think more school systems should definitely work to implement things like my sister's basketball team and Coffee Cart. It brings people together and gives kids opportunities they won't get otherwise. Anyway, this video did make me tear up. So thank you, Soul Pancake.

I’m a paraeducator and one of the classes that I work in does a coffee cart. Two years after I started as a para I actually had something from the coffee cart. OMG! The lemon bars were simply divine, and a little hot chocolate goes a long way on those cold winter mornings in my neck of the woods. Making food for the coffee cart is so valuable because it’s something they can do that makes them feel like a part of the school! (And some teachers have come to us in the halls to buy some *real* coffee before we make it anywhere near their classes, and they are very grateful for it!)

I was in special education classes all my life, and I am planning to go to college to become a special education teacher because I know the struggles an individual can go through, being picked on, etc. My siblings (3 of them) are all in special education classes for different reasons. As a teacher I want my students to know that I am more than just a teacher, I am a friend, family, that they can come to me about anything, and so much more. I am not going to push them through the system, I am going to give them the education they deserve and help them obtain the confidence and skills they need to get them ready for the real world.

🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️ Coming soon!!! Coffee☕️ infused with CBDa🍀. (If you're interested, subscribe to my channel.) 🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️🔸▪️ The mental alertness which is induced by the caffeine in coffee is enhanced with the addition of CBDa, but also there is a great reduction of the irritable side-effects like anxiety and the jitters that are associated with caffeine that many people experience. For this reason, CBDa & Caffeine infused together makes a great combination for promoting alertness, focus, energy, calmness & productivity without the side-effects like jitters or caffeine sensitivity. It is also great for alleviating inflammation, joint relief and muscle discomfort, pain, supports optimal immune function, etc. The phytocannabinoids from the hemp plant like CBDa, with all of its myriad of health benefits, including anti-anxiety properties, combined with the caffeine that is in the coffee create a wonderful balance. ❤️Love, 🌞Light, ☮️Peace🌳 & 🌈Gratitude🦋. 😊☕️
