Black Teen, Kevuntez King, Raises College Tuition By Selling Newspapers For 5 Years
While growing up in a household with a single black mother, Kevuntez understood the adversities he would face in his mission to live the American dream as a young adult. His five-year run of dedicated work as a youth helped him overcome those adversities.
Kevuntezβs goal was to raise money to secure a college education for himself in a country like the U.S.A., that in systemically sound fashion, aggressively denies poor ethnic minorities the ability receive their formal education for the purpose of living the American dream.
Kevuntez has been accepted into Tennessee State University after paying the tab to attend college by himself. He says that surrounding himself with supportive people has helped him achieve his goal.
Kevuntez wanted to accumulate this for himself without using the government or academic scholarships to pay his way. βI just stay away from the negativity and try to always be positive,β Kevuntez told a local media source in an exclusive interview.
βMake sure you surround yourself with people thatβs trying to go up in life and not trying to bring you down. Just stay positive and always believe in yourself and push for it,β he told a local Memphis news source.
