Thank you Susan. It was quite wonderful to give so many people the opportunity to apply for jobs.

Unbelievable that you fired! But not unbelievable that you succeeded beyond expectations.:) Why not? is such a great question to ask. It invites ingenuity and determination and with those two qualities, you’re right, so much good can happen. Such a great story Teyani!

I think that it’s actually the first time I have retold it.

I couldn’t help but laugh when I was fired for serving too many people who needed help! That’s the mindset of those old programs… and grants.. do well, but not too well, or next time they won’t give us as much money.
