I did it in 1988 from whangarei to Auckland for a job interview it took me 5 days to Walk but I did it and they asked me how i said i walk even in 2019 they thank I'm still Crazy and back then I was 16 years old and now I'm 47 years old going on 48 I'll do it again if I have to nothing will stop me not even my age.
He's.definitely an employer not just a boss when a kid like that walks 10 miles on snow amd left school to care for his brothers and sisters he was.right couldn't afford.to pass this teen up.for emploment
Amazing kid. He's been through shit, but there's no self-pity, no anger, no sense of what he thinks he's entitled to. He's already a grown-up - more so than some grown-ups.
DivineSimply- All you have to do is read some posts on this thread. It's sad how a humanitarian post can lead to such selfish, uneducated words, that reflect on their quality of life.
I had to walk 9 miles 4 days a week from Marks Tey to Colchester after receiving an apprenticeship on track shovelling on the railway. I was unemployed and homeless. 5 years later I'm a engineering planner on a good in come. Employers whom see and watch those who struggle but persist and do not complain find it humbling. You learn values in life and mature much quicker, and are often called an old soul because you have had it rough. Much respect to the gentlemen and its a dying breed these days.
Much respect friend. I work at an Amazon Distribution Center and walk five and a half miles to work for four days of the week. I work ten hour shifts each day and ride the bus home. I have to trek through a bad part of town to get into the next town where it's located. I have also experienced homelessness. I had a job when I was homeless which was horrible, but I still went. I was on the streets for six months of my life, never again. I worked at a fast food restaurant for three years before working for Amazon. I am currently twenty-four and have a goal to receive my CDL next year after a full year with Amazon as they will pay for the school up to ninety-five percent. One day, I'll have my own truck, establish my own company and become self-employed. People lack drive, it's sad!
Hum really? Couldn't have got the bus or train? Maybe you were working nights i dont know. But theres a travelodge right nearby if you were homeless which once you recieved a paycheck you could have used, maybe this was many years ago? I walked the nine miles home from Braintree to Chelmsford for a job interview- was night no transport home, told the guy i was doing so too, still didnt get job!
@@hunterwf4588 I was responding to the initial poster, who mentioned a walk from Mark's Tey to Colchester, quite close to me, i know the area well. Anyway wasn't it possible to catch the last bus/train which is usually about 11ish and then arrive to work early and maybe sit in the rest room at least saving the walk?
@@jameswest4692 I see. The way the post was written I thought you were replying to me. To answer your question, no! Reason being is the route that stops a mile down the road from the warehouse ends much earlier than other routes.
The owner of the restaurant... Man you a good dude, you did a tremendous thing. Thank you. And the nice lady giving him the bus pass... Wow. God bless you
Just happy tears rolling down my cheeks. Picking him up, giving him a job, and another stranger giving him bus passes. This is the type of town I want to live. My hearts go out to you both for helping this young man.
It's 2022! I'm so interested on how Jhaqueil had his siblings are doing now. This is so awesome and rare that you find a teen with old fashioned and strong family values! Bravo to this young man!
I once rode my bike 2 hours for a job interview. It was summer in SoCal and hot. I was sweating when I got there. The hiring manager walked by me, glanced at me and stopped. He asked "are you ok?". I said "I am here for an interview at 2 o'clock. I rode my bike." He said "a motorcycle"? I responded "No, a road bicycle. It took me two hours to get here". He looked shocked and said "you cycled two hours in this heat for a job interview. You're hired. You proved you really want to work". Best job I ever had. And some of the best people I ever worked with

God will make a way? Then why does god not do something about priest raping abusing and molesting children, this god you praise just sits back and lets it happen. Are all the molested children just part of this gods devine master plan? If this god you worship is real, then it is no more than an immoral dictator not worthy of worship.

Walking 10 miles on a good day is hard, this guy made it on a very cold day. Such a nice act from the manager and other people who showed up to help, we need more of these people.
this reminds me of my first cooking job, I didn't trek 10 miles, but I've had problems keeping work longer then 6 months, I have mental disabilities that limit me, and I told straight up at the interview I have problems keeping jobs longer then 6 months, and he said, are you a person that's always on time? i said yes, never been late to work once in my life, he said your hired, then 6 months later I had to move to a different house further away, I told.my boss that I need to give my 2 week notice, he took me in to his house with his family so I can stay working for him, this was 3 years ago, and to date I still work there. there's alot of good people in this world, and the thing about having mental disabilities, and being slow at work, he told me first day of work take your time, don't worry about how slow you are, just do it right, and never messed up once, I was promoted to sous chef 1 month ago, and I still live with my boss, I've gone to help this company open new restaraunts all over north America, and a couple in europe, all expenses paid
great story, just out of curiosity since you have been working for him for so long and have been promoted why haven't you gotten your own please? it would seem u have made a successful career.. I'm just curious not trying to come across as rude
thats great, so since you are a more permanent resident with them do you have your own room? sorry for all the questions this story is just very appealing to me and great because of how things turned out
I’m so proud of everyone involved here. That’s humanity. This is what makes us beautiful. Take the ugly away and it’s really amazing what can be done together.
My grandpa at 10 years old went to work in the logging camp to support his mother and 5 siblings in Minnesota. He put them all through college. WHAT A MAN HE WAS! There are people who take responsibility seriously, more than you imagine.
Midwestern work ethic for ya. Growing up in South Dakota, I saw a lot of people who unfortunately didn't get a "normal" childhood. Days that I doubt a majority of kids now these days could handle. I do not wish those kinds of duties on to a boy but it does tend to build a solid foundation for the rest of their life. Sounds like he was a great man! 👍 thanks for the inspiration
Here is a young man willing to do whatever it takes to help support his siblings and I have a bunch of lazy useless men who don't show up for work and when they do are worthless. I would hire this young man in a heartbeat.
Tama To a +++ This is how Americans were growing up in the 50's and 60's. The 3 H's- Honesty, Hard work and Honor. It is what my parents, aunts and uncles taught me. This is why companies in Texas and elsewhere are hiring people in their 60's, 70's and even 80's to work their jobs. They may be slower, but they are honest and usually show up on time. They also can make change for a dollar in their heads without a pencil and paper or a calculator.
where do you live? Ill come work for you! Need to make money somehow to support our loved ones! Im a 37 yr old man and Ive walked in down pouring rain, freezing temperatures, and on top of miles to get there. I know how much this means to this young man.
You can't judge a man by the way he looks, the clothes he wears or the car he drives. You judge a man by his actions, this is a real man. This man has a real future, because he will do whatever it takes to get the job. Even walk 10 miles in the snow.
back in the 70's I hitchhiked 10 miles for 40 weekdays to the only jobsite around looking for a job as a laborer before they hired me. I was there at 6:30 every day, it started me on my construction career, I am now a tower crane operator with 28 years in the seat a total 0f 38 years in the construction business
+Michael koen my grandfather dropped out of highschool to join the korean war, and then came back joined a union and became a very good electrician. he then traveled all over the states doing jobs that others turned down and his union picked up, only to get mesothelioma latter in life, and he STILL was able to get around and do what was needed. he even built most of his own shop (i helped a bit so did my dad) and refused to just lay down and wither away, like the doctors wanted him to in his final days. He died while walking to tell my grandma something in the living room a couple days after refusing to be put back in the hospital. He was an electrician up until his late 50s when he had a heart attack and he started when he was 18. Men like yall are so hard to come by these days and it saddens me..... Btw they never did give the Korean vets the money they promised and left them to fend for themselves. And my grandpa was actually given an honorary High School diploma a few years before he died.
How does Jaquein get to work everyday? Does Art pick him up? Art: "Hey Jaquein, it's Art at the restaurant. It's 9:30. You were supposed to be here half hour ago. Where are you?" Jaquein: "I'm walking through the snow. It's really cold out here. Can you pick me up again?" Art: "Jesus Fucking Christ!"
This young man has an inspirational story for everyone to hear. It would be good to know some follow up to his present day circumstances, and good changes that have come his way because of this video. 👏🏴
Young man, your mother is so proud of you! Lord bless this young man and the gentleman that you put on his path. I pray other's see this and realize hard work will pay off. I can only imagine the burdens and great struggles this young man has faced!!!
As a former foster kid, that’s great you gave him a chance. My boss did the same for me back in 2012 and we are still going strong. Outlook has everything to do with work ethic and this guy seems to have his head screwed on straight. Wish him, and his two siblings, the best.
So when you hear the old adage "I walked to work/school 10 miles everyday, up hill both ways". This is the man you're talking about. God Bless You Guy! I have respect for any man/woman that gets up and goes to work. No matter their circumstances. This entire story was filled with great people.
Sir, u are a true human being, with heart of helping. you may have change this young man life and he will never forget your kindness...god bless you....
See what one act of kindness can do. The owner showed that , what a difference you have made in helping that young man..you sir have my respect..Thank you
This lad is very special in my eyes , he deserves all the support ,he literally went the extra mile to support his siblings.im afraid too many expect handouts but won't put in the effort to help themselves
Paula Haskin is AWESOME with a heart of gold!! Amazing role model herself. We need a lot more kindness like hers in this troubled world. Thank you, Paula. You inspire me.❤❤❤🙃🙃🙃🙃
Dean Doxtator Well being stuck in a situation, of either work your ass off somewhere or starve to death, regardless the type of job or the distance, anyone can and will become very determined. It's just another natural human reaction for survival. Nothing new here.
Good man & a damn good kid. I hope everything turns out well for the lad & his siblings & I hope the restaurant owner reaps the benefits he so richly deserves from this story. Well done all round. 👏🏻👍🏻
Wonderful to see a young man so determined and with not one iota of feeling entitled!! One person at a time, one day at a time and we can all do our part! 💖
Ten years on, l hope this young man and his siblings are still doing well. I'm sorry they lost their mum but, if she's watching down on them, l imagine she couldn't be prouder of the young man she was clearly raising right.
The same " god " that took everything tho right.... neat. Im thankful he didn't play the jew card. His feet got him a job. His Determination got him a job. The generosity of another gave him that job.
To the lady who donated the bus passes! Fuck you are great 👍 I love it if we had more human beings like her America will be great again. She made my day!
Agreed. Most people these days expect to be paid for doing dumb shit they enjoy, like playing video games, or "doing art" or "reacting to videos." Like put away your phone, or your crayons, or whatver toy, and go do some real work.
Great stuff... makes me remember that there are good people out there. Thanks for reminding me that good things do happen to people who deserve it. I hope the young man gets to realize his dreams and I wish Jhaqueil the same. Thanks you!
Both of them are genuine good guys, his mother sadly passed so he dropped out of school to raise his younger brothers and sisters. And the bloke who gave him a job and the lady who gave him the bus passes . Bless all of them !
I just looked up the distance I walked once, thinking it was a long way... Ended up just being 4 miles 2 miles there, then 2 miles back.. so yeah, props to that guy doing 10 miles
The guy who gave him a ride is a great person we need more people like this seriously
Yeah. We all can be like this. 💪😊
Reminds me of Dana white

You can't judge a man by the way he looks, the clothes he wears or the car he drives. You judge a man by his actions, this is a real man. This man has a real future, because he will do whatever it takes to get the job. Even walk 10 miles in the snow.
Ron Hickey you better believe it I've was just their 2 years ago it can work I did the same thing
So true !
You are soo right, Ron. Never judge a book by its cover! A friend from Norway.
@El Pacino you might want to watch it again. I think you missed the plot line.
hey guys you forgot something ,he had to walk that far BACK on the return.
back in the 70's I hitchhiked 10 miles for 40 weekdays to the only jobsite around looking for a job as a laborer before they hired me. I was there at 6:30 every day, it started me on my construction career, I am now a tower crane operator with 28 years in the seat a total 0f 38 years in the construction business
That's amazing! Just more proof incredible things happen when you're determined and willing to do things that aren't always the easiest. 😊 👏
+Michael koen my grandfather dropped out of highschool to join the korean war, and then came back joined a union and became a very good electrician. he then traveled all over the states doing jobs that others turned down and his union picked up, only to get mesothelioma latter in life, and he STILL was able to get around and do what was needed. he even built most of his own shop (i helped a bit so did my dad) and refused to just lay down and wither away, like the doctors wanted him to in his final days. He died while walking to tell my grandma something in the living room a couple days after refusing to be put back in the hospital. He was an electrician up until his late 50s when he had a heart attack and he started when he was 18. Men like yall are so hard to come by these days and it saddens me.....
Btw they never did give the Korean vets the money they promised and left them to fend for themselves. And my grandpa was actually given an honorary High School diploma a few years before he died.
Michael koen looks like your last name is cut off lol
it used to be McKoen (Irish)
Why did you/your family remove Mc then?
What an inspiring young man well done, and much respect to the man that hired him. Just shows what good people there is in the world.💞
How does Jaquein get to work everyday? Does Art pick him up?
Art: "Hey Jaquein, it's Art at the restaurant. It's 9:30. You were supposed to be here half hour ago. Where are you?"
Jaquein: "I'm walking through the snow. It's really cold out here. Can you pick me up again?"
Art: "Jesus Fucking Christ!"
@@philvacanti1446 he received a year's worth of bus passes.
This young boy is a good kid may god bless him
OMG!🙏❤
Is hard to find young men like him and willing to take care of his siblings.
Got dust in my eyes
mariposa Queen a sand storm just swept through my face
Robert Lucero I know!
That means you have a good heart and one day you will help someone in need.
mariposa Queen ikkk
Actually young people are not as bad as the media makes them out to be. Most of them are decent good natured kids.
This young man has an inspirational story for everyone to hear.
It would be good to know some follow up to his present day circumstances, and good changes that have come his way because of this video. 👏🏴
Young man, your mother is so proud of you! Lord bless this young man and the gentleman that you put on his path. I pray other's see this and realize hard work will pay off. I can only imagine the burdens and great struggles this young man has faced!!!
What a kind hearted man! We need more people like like ! God bless you both.
Harmz Xo ask God to bless me too pls.
Harmz Xo (marketing)
Harmz Xo I believe this kid will be the hardest worker in this guys history of hiring ever
As a former foster kid, that’s great you gave him a chance. My boss did the same for me back in 2012 and we are still going strong. Outlook has everything to do with work ethic and this guy seems to have his head screwed on straight. Wish him, and his two siblings, the best.
What a lovely fella the store owner is. You just know the young lad will do his best. Best of luck in your lives to both of you.
I love people like that! Thank you for offering the job to this young man.
So when you hear the old adage "I walked to work/school 10 miles everyday, up hill both ways". This is the man you're talking about. God Bless You Guy! I have respect for any man/woman that gets up and goes to work. No matter their circumstances. This entire story was filled with great people.
Sir, u are a true human being, with heart of helping.
you may have change this young man life and he
will never forget your kindness...god bless you....
Sir, you have this weird thing where
you space
You're sentences out all kooky.
This is
Very odd and I don't understand the logic of it.
Okay bye now.
See what one act of kindness can do. The owner showed that , what a difference you have made in helping that young man..you sir have my respect..Thank you
This is what happens when humanity steps up. This young man deserves everything he will get in life.
There is still Hope ! Don't Give Up .... God Bless Everyone with a Beautiful & Pure Heart !!!!!!!!
One of the best stories I have heard in a long time.
Hi
“Everyone you meet is fighting a battle YOU KNOW nothing about. Be kind ALWAYS.”
This lad is very special in my eyes , he deserves all the support ,he literally went the extra mile to support his siblings.im afraid too many expect handouts but won't put in the effort to help themselves
Truly sad that this good man had to close his restaurant.
My best wishes to that young man.
Wow, this video made me tear up😢🤧 these kids nowadays don't get how EZ they have it. I just hope this young man continues to do well🤞✌🏼👍🏼
Good stuff, His Mama instilled best values she could !!;
Sure she is proud
@Baba Ganush You are an idiot. Of course he knows that. He was paying a great compliment. God you are a terrible person.
@Baba Ganush So you’re saying his mom couldn’t have instilled good values in her kid before she died? Man you’re stupid.
@@brad3283 he's a terrible person because he's not religious and doesn't believe in heaven fairy tales?
You sound like a right christian
@@btgkg9639 you know find and rightly he's referring to the "she is proud"
When In reality she's 6foot under
@@eillswim you need help
Paula Haskin is AWESOME with a heart of gold!! Amazing role model herself. We need a lot more kindness like hers in this troubled world. Thank you, Paula. You inspire me.❤❤❤🙃🙃🙃🙃
May God bless this young man , his siblings and all the well wishers .
man this kid something else determination, heart, and love for siblings. rare in this world to see that heart goes out this young man
Dean Doxtator Well being stuck in a situation, of either work your ass off somewhere or starve to death, regardless the type of job or the distance, anyone can and will become very determined. It's just another natural human reaction for survival. Nothing new here.
Black Shark Not really, some would just rely on welfares.
Killber Amazuki yea
Good man & a damn good kid. I hope everything turns out well for the lad & his siblings & I hope the restaurant owner reaps the benefits he so richly deserves from this story. Well done all round. 👏🏻👍🏻
i was curious and looked him up. he wrote a book and is now a motivational speaker helping others.
What a great young man. I wish him and his employer all the best for the future.
This is amazing! Beautiful how everyone is stepping up to help this boy. He has a wonderful life ahead ❤️
Lisa DeL It's great publicity. Most ppl don't have kind hearts.
+graffProdigy Again, you stated most. The helper wasn't one of that "Most".
What a huge motivation for this guy! God bless him and all those that helped him
Wonderful to see a young man so determined and with not one iota of feeling entitled!! One person at a time, one day at a time and we can all do our part! 💖
great act of kindness. too the owner. the lord will bless you always.
7 years later, I hope jhaqueil is doing great now
He seems to be, according to Facebook. 👍
@@runsbetterthanitdidgarage.626 whats his Facebook?
He is a billionaire now
He is an author and motivational speaker now according to LinkedIn
Man this video made me cry, still hope for Humanity
This young man is an inspiration for all young people out there. He is also a person who is giving his young siblings a good example as well 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏
What an impressive young man !
mabey the military for this kid ...he could get training or school ...he looks like a super asset for anyone...
I pray he stays at the job and I pray that he’s doing good. God bless the man who hired him 🥰
Props to the man that gave him a chance! I hope you sleep good at night knowing you’ve changed someone’s life! 🙌🏽
Love this story, I cried. I hope he is doing well for himself today
there really are some good people in the world great story
Aww that’s great- all of you who helped this young man - love you all 👍💯👌🇬🇧
Ten years on, l hope this young man and his siblings are still doing well. I'm sorry they lost their mum but, if she's watching down on them, l imagine she couldn't be prouder of the young man she was clearly raising right.
this story restore's your faith in humanity. good luck to him.
God bless this man! He’s a saint! I hope that young mans life has improved!
"It's all about trying, that's all you can do" That touched my heart.
Beautiful. Thank you for the story reporting. We need more of this.
You can see his character hes a good guy.having lost his mom must be devastating alone.
I honestly suffer from anxiety and this story for some reason helps me over come it. Thanks for helping me
+Tinder inc u got it tinder, I also suffer from anxiety, not let it get too you!
Tinder inc Thanks that help me too
bdp fucc up Yes, but who cleans the laptop screen,...EW.
Respect to those two men . Don't see enough of either set of actions today .
We need a lot of young men like him in this world !
Wow! Good for him, and good for the guy who hired him!
This young man has the constitution of steel. Very unusual in this day. I'm positive that God will continue to bless him.
The same " god " that took everything tho right.... neat. Im thankful he didn't play the jew card. His feet got him a job. His Determination got him a job. The generosity of another gave him that job.
You know you insult him by saying its the work of God right? It's his enormous balls that brought him there..
To the lady who donated the bus passes! Fuck you are great 👍 I love it if we had more human beings like her America will be great again. She made my day!
You don't get many people like this anymore.
What an inspirational guy.
Agreed. Most people these days expect to be paid for doing dumb shit they enjoy, like playing video games, or "doing art" or "reacting to videos." Like put away your phone, or your crayons, or whatver toy, and go do some real work.
Now that is dedication and effort good job young man very proud of you ............
Great stuff... makes me remember that there are good people out there. Thanks for reminding me that good things do happen to people who deserve it. I hope the young man gets to realize his dreams and I wish Jhaqueil the same. Thanks you!
Good for you Jahquiel. I wish you well brother. I hope everyone in this area makes sure to give this restaurant their patronage.
Both of them are genuine good guys, his mother sadly passed so he dropped out of school to raise his younger brothers and sisters. And the bloke who gave him a job and the lady who gave him the bus passes . Bless all of them !
EVERYTHING happens for a reason. This young man deserved this opportunity. Well done 😁
I wonder how he’s doing?! This was from 7 years ago. Hopefully that made a huge difference.
The restaurant closed in 2018. ua-cam.com/video/OadZ5sU4W_Q/v-deo.html&ab_channel=WTHR
@@mikecrowley6186 aw, that's too bad.
@@mikecrowley6186 well at least he had a job for a couple years. He’ll definitely get hired after some work experience.
The owner did a great job hope both of them are doing well in life. Good deed never falls flat
@@HydrateYoSelf Trade school would be better.This guy understands work.
I just looked up the distance I walked once, thinking it was a long way... Ended up just being 4 miles 2 miles there, then 2 miles back..
so yeah, props to that guy doing 10 miles
"This is why i think America is amazing......True spirit in everything you do....From Scotland to America...God Bless America"
