This man has kept the halls and classrooms of a Georgia elementary school clean for more over 20 years.
As an important worker at Hightower Elementary School in DeKalb County, Tylan Bailey was appointed head janitor. But little did his colleagues realize, is that behind the scenes he was working on something else. Something that would change his life.
For the past four years the hardworking cleaner has been balancing his tough schedule with his studies for a teaching degree.

Tylan, who decided to go back to school in 2017 while still working as head janitor, said: “‘A lot of people around the building always ask me ‘when do I sleep.'”
Hightower Elementary Principal Sheila Price said he was a valued member of the school community and they would be sorry to see him go.
‘Always be more’
“He’s the kind of person you want in your building, on your side. It’s a bittersweet moment because we love him, and we want to keep him here. But we know this is a huge step, and we support him,” she said, as per Yen.com.
Tylan has been asked to be the commencement speaker at the school’s 5th-grade graduation ceremony.
The 43-year-old dad whose motto is ‘Always be more’ now hopes to become a physical education teacher.
