I’ve heard stories from successful business people that as teens they carried briefcases and wore shirts and ties. Hopefully this kid stays on the right path and becomes a success as an adult. Maybe a businessperson will mentor him.
When my kids were young, they went to the Boys & Girls Club after school. There was a black high school student who went there, too. I remember his name was Nick. He always wore a tie and carried a briefcase. I have wondered what ever happened to him. I am pretty sure he was successful.
