Southwest flight attendant Charise Miles, 42, grabbed a terminal microphone over the weekend at an airport in Houston and, rather than rambling off boarding information, she instead started belting out a beautiful rendition of “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.”
Watch the amazing moment unfold below:
Miles, who told ABC News that she went to college on a music scholarship, said that it was her dream job to travel the world as a flight attendant and to sing along the way (she said that she performs on all of her flights).
But Miles sees a greater mission in her performing than merely belting out a tune here or there: she’s intent on making a difference.
“My motto for my job is that I’m there to make a difference. So many people are depressed, stressed, sad,” she told ABC. They’re going to funerals, they spend a lot of money for flight tickets. … If I can be the one to make a difference in somebody’s life and make their life better when they got off [the plane] than how they were when they came on, God put me there for that reason.”
The flight attendant said that she decided to start working during Christmas after a 2012 divorce left her depressed during the holidays. Now, she uses her talents to try and uplift others as they travel during the winter chaos.
