Tristan McAlister and Angel Echevarria

This heartwarming video of a high school student's gift to a janitor has recently gone viral.

A teenager, Tristan McAlister, 17 years-old, is a student at Stafford High School in Fredericksberg, Virginia. While Angel Echevarria, 31, was homeless for four years and the school's janitor.

Despite their different walk of life and backgrounds, the two struck up a friendship in the halls.

"I've known Angel for 2 years now and you won't find a person who appreciates and smiles more than this guy," McAlister wrote in a tweet. "I asked him what shoes should I buy and he picked out Jordan 8s and I asked if he had a pair and he said, "no I have 4 kids, I can't shop for myself' so today I surprised him."

McAlister said he only recorded the video because his mom wanted to see Echevarria's reaction. She encouraged him to share it on social media, but no one expected it to go viral.

Despite the difficulties and trials, he's encountered, Echevarria is always happy, always smiling, appreciative of his life that was so heartwarming and positively contagious.

"I'm so thankful to have met him," McAlister said. "He gives me a different perspective on life."

If only all people will be this positive in life like Echevarria, it will be indeed a happy place for everyone.
