A heartwarming video of a Texas professor has gone viral on social media for holding a student's child during a class. She was being praised all over social media and has won the internet. The video clip was shared by Twitter user Haley Yates who said that her professor Barbie Hicks showed interest to help out with her baby who she had taken to the class so that she could prepare for the test.
After getting off a 10 hour shift and picking her up, I had to go straight to class 45 minutes late because class starts exactly the time I get off. My professor took her from my hands and taught class so I would be able to review before our test. I’m forever grateful ❤️ pic.twitter.com/Myhuv5cFRo

All I can say is wow! I didn’t know this picture was taken, was just doing what should’ve been done. Love all my students and want you to succeed. I know all too well what it’s like to be a mom trying to go to school. Hugs sweetie! Thanks for the kind words.

Your professor is awesome for that. I know how it is to work full-time, and go to school, and parent, so Kudos to you both for being hard working parents. I’ve taken my lil guy to work a few times, because she was still at work and we got bills to pay, feel me?
