Teachers at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri, told their students kind words, and it sparked positivity.

"I really appreciate you, and I'm going to miss you next year," one Oak Park teacher told his student. 

Another Oak Park teacher told her student: "You're friendly and enthusiastic, and you care about school, and you're always trying your hardest."

The teachers each recognized the influence of one of the students in their classes.

"Every single kid thought they were in trouble," Oak Park High School teacher Jamie McSparin said. 

"I feel special," one student said.
