"I didn't know that I would actually be making my own money for once because I used to stay in the house and play video games," said 9-year-old Keith Williams.
"Someone ended up posting that flyer on Facebook and then kind of went viral," said Williams' father, also named Keith Williams. "So, I've been driving him around every day after 5:30 and on Saturdays and Sundays on all his jobs." "I want to save money for my college," he said, citing MIT as a top choice. "I want to be a computer engineer because I want to build an app for people like me who want to start lawn mower businesses.""You don't see this anymore. Like, you know, when we were growing up, we were doing this," said Richey. "You know, I don't have children his age. We probably never really would have crossed paths.
When Keiths video game controller broke he was obviously disappointed His parents noticed his disappointment and decided to talk to him about it
How many times has this story been rerun? It’s not even grass cutting season
👍
Good for him
He's not the first kid to do this.
Until he’s injured on your property, or like even the best landscapers sometimes do…damage your property, and then this “life lesson” turns to a different one.
dystopian events repackaged as feel good stories
recycled news
Great parenting right there! That kid will grow up to be a winner! I salute you, mom & dad.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
With hard work it could turn into a very nice small business
Nothing wrong with cutting lawns. It's a great start. 👍
Terrific story…..keep up the great work Keith! And great job to his parents!!! We need more stories like this instead of sissy’s focus on negative!!!!
Kudos for Keith!
Good for YOU, Keith! It is apparent, your family has taught you that nothing is free in this world. Bravo to YOU and to whoever taught you the value of working for what you want and not just expecting to be handed to you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Now, there's a kid with great parents!
Here we got young man doin' his thing & very few positive comments. My young Brotha I am extremely proud of you 😎💯⭐
Nice, hope he's staying hydrated. Thankful he's not Robbing. Shooting Carjacking, selling drugs or beating up the elderly.
Maybe Someday Keith Gonna Have His Own Business.
Good for him! Hope me makes a bundle (and stays hydrated in this awful heat)
Celebrating child labor 🙌🏻
Keith, I tell my kid this 1000x - it's easy money!
