Humans of New York

“I had a child when I was sixteen. I got kicked out of high school because of all the absences. My family and community pretty much wrote me off. But right away I got a job at a sporting goods store. Soon I was able to get a job as a receptionist at a tax company, and they gave me enough responsibilities that I learned how to do taxes. Eventually I learned enough to become an associate. Then I got offered a job at a smaller company, and even though it was a pay cut, they offered me responsibility over all the books — accounts payable, accounts receivable, everything. It was less money but I wanted that experience so I took the risk. And I’m so glad I did, because six months later, the controller of that company left and I was given that position. They told me they couldn’t officially call me the controller because I didn’t have a college degree. So I finished my degree 5 months ago — just to make it official! So after having a child at sixteen, I made it all the way to controller of a company, without even having a college degree. Can you believe that? Honestly, I’ve been waiting to tell that story so long that I told it to a customer service representative on the phone last week. She was nice about it and pretended to care.”

-The reason that Human of New York is so popular is because it inspirational and it can help out people that maybe go through the same thing that the people is going through.

Single Stores so stereotypes because people judge people by there past and where they came from (Chimamanda Adichie Single story).

The part that I liked about this picture was that she looked like some one that was kind and that could get through anything that life throws at her. 

The part that interested me in this post was even though she had a child at the age of 16 she came through of that and got a job and later on she was the controller of the company.
