DeVos struggles to answer basic questions about schools in her home state
Asked if creating a panel on making schools safer is more talk than action, she said, "No, there is a sense of urgency, indeed". Teachers began tweeting photos of what their classrooms actually look like at the education secretary.

Speaking to Chron, Williams said: "I didn't know the photo was taken until a couple hours later".

"We wanted to reward Evoni's act of kindness and let her know that good deeds do not go unnoticed", said Melinda Spaulding, an administrator at Texas Southern University.

It is a moment among several in recent years, captured in a picture, put online, and capturing the attention of the Internet: like a New York City police officer giving a homeless man a pair of boots, or workers at a drive-through pausing to pray with a grieving customer, or a restaurant goer whose wife died of cancer anonymously paying for the meal of another cancer patient. "It just so happens somebody got a picture of this one time of many", said Hocking. Williams couldn't stop the tears.

"It's something I would do any other day", Williams explained.

She's been working there since graduating high school, saving up for college, KTRK reported. "She has the character of the type of students we want at Texas Southern University".
