He&#8217;s a high school senior in Smithfield, Utah who <a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/high-school-senior-buys-valentines-day-flowers-834\/story?id=36896236\">bought 900 carnations<\/a>\u00a0\u2014one for every girl in his school\u00a0\u2014 for Valentine&#8217;s Day. He worked three jobs (a cook at McDonald&#8217;s, a dishwasher at a Mexican restaurant, and a bag boy at a grocery store) for 10 months to afford the $450 needed to pay for this grand gesture.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1871 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/CLDaniko-raw-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"CLDaniko raw\" width=\"305\" height=\"229\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/CLDaniko-raw-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/CLDaniko-raw-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/CLDaniko-raw-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.florist20.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/CLDaniko-raw-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/>Godfrey totally gets it: Flowers\u00a0aren&#8217;t just pretty objects; they create feelings of joy and make people feel special.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s been doing something similar, albeit on a smaller scale, for the past four years. His mother said he got the idea in middle school when he noticed some girls looking sad\u00a0because they didn&#8217;t have a Valentine. In interviews with various national news outlets, Godfrey said he remembers what it felt like to be single on Valentine&#8217;s Day and didn&#8217;t want any girls to feel lonely or unloved.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was totally worth it,&#8221; Godfrey said of the work it took to afford the carnations. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think anything can compare to seeing every girl in your life holding a flower as they walk through the halls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Godfrey&#8217;s story is one\u00a0worth sharing. Let&#8217;s make it go viral so he sees the industry&#8217;s appreciation of his gesture and potential customers realize that flowers make people
