I’ve had a lot of compliments, but none this special before. Thank you Ms. Mendes. I’m not sure how much I blessed her with, but I’m sure she had the greatest 14th birthday celebration ever!!
Family, I gave the student 10 seconds to figure out what 14 x 14 equals!! She came up with 196 in ten seconds without a calculator in her hand!, (rather she did it herself or a teacher yelled the answer across the cafeteria,smile:-), she gave me the right answer. A kid that smart deserves to be blessed and inspired to become more in life. Im sure that one act of kindness not only changed that child’s perspective on (1) Black Men) but (2) on the fact that she just got paid for the first time in life for being smart and quick witted!
I was serious when I said I would like to speak to that child’s parents about a possible future math scholarship, funded by my business. But for now, let her know when she is of working age to come see me and she has her first job, no questions asked. She will be paid, groomed and sent off to college and sponsored when that time comes. I can always use good tax accountants. 🙂Also let her know she will be the first, of many kids I will to send to college around here!
My mission in life is to sow into people (especially children) and plant good seeds in Gods name, everywhere I go, Amen.
God DID!!!
