That reminds me of one of my old assistants.
I think one of the best things about owning a business is being able to make a positive impact on people's lives. Had an assistant with a serious drug past. Nicest guy kid, looked like Mr. Rogers, had a great attitude and wanted to learn but was terrible at most tasks. Worked with him for 3 months, lot of mentoring, but finally had to let him go. I see him at Home Depot (works there) now and again.
