A dedicated teacher in Eastman, Georgia, is warming hearts across TikTok after sharing why she returned to school late at night—in her pajamas.
Sarah Ashley Winans, a sixth-grade teacher, woke up from a deep sleep with a sudden realization: she forgot to plug in the Chromebook cart her students would need for a state exam the next day. Without hesitation, she jumped out of bed and headed to school at 10:15 p.m. to make it right.
"You're probably going to laugh. I was in bed. I was like dead asleep, and for some reason, I just woke up, and I sat up straight in the bed, and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, I did not plug this Chromebook cart in,'" Winans said.
She later posted the school surveillance footage of her late-night visit with the caption, “Test taking anxiety isn’t just for the kids. Mind you…this was at 10:15 p.m.” The clip quickly went viral, striking a chord with viewers who praised her dedication—and related to the anxiety that comes with wanting everything to go smoothly.
