After ten years of delivering food, I discovered that many of the successful, well-dressed people in my neighborhood had once been my classmates.
The contempt in their eyes whenever they saw me cut deep.
Then one day, I used my decade of savings to buy a luxury home they couldn't afford to rent, and started helping them solve their problems.
The richest man's daughter actually begged me in public not to leave after I handed her a termination agreement.
She had no idea that the person who had once pushed me into the mire was her father.
