Nine-year-old Sophie was devastated when she had to bring a report card of straight D's home. Sophie's dad, Shane Jackson, decided to console his crying daughter by making her a new report card.

Shane's report card encapsulated many different categories, such as her sense of humor, love of dogs, and, most heart-warming of all, the best daughter. Sophie earned straight A's in every subject. According to an interview with HuffPost UK, Sophie was especially devastated by her report card because she had been working extremely hard with her parents to manage her autism to improve her life at home and at school. She thought she had been doing so well, only to find on her report card that she was just hovering above failure.

Shane and his wife Fiona were heartbroken when a distraught Sophie came home and said, “I’ve let everyone down.”

Shane knew he had to do something special to comfort his daughter who never stopped trying to do her best. Shane explained, "I thought I’d give a report of all the things that make Sophie unique and makes her, her. She loved it and has been so upbeat since I gave it to her, it has the effect I wanted."

Shane's tweet has since caused an uproar online receiving many positive comments. One user tweeted, "This is beautiful Shane. It looks like you and Sophie have discovered the things that really matter :)" Although Sophie received a bad report card, Shane also wanted to emphasize that Sophie's school was not treating her unfairly. "Sophie has a fantastic teacher. There's a marking process, according to which Sophie did well," he said.
