Wishing you all the Joy Christmas brings.

Today we honor those who gave their all for this nation. Thank you for all your sacrifices.

Happy July 4th. In God we trust!

In 2011 when i was coming to the USA to pursue my college degree

Facing many hardships, i was kicked out of college in 2014 because i had tuition debts of $14,000.

With no experience and with $40, i went to a store and bought cleaning supplies. I was walking the streets to clean offices and houses.

It was my innovative way of earning money to return to school. Not having a job encouraged me to create one.

In 2016 i successfully paid off my tuition debts, In 2018 i obtained my bachelors degree. I started creating jobs while i was still a student.

Over the years, i've learned that the way to excellence is full of obstacles and that no failure is final. Failures give us an opportunity to do better in life. It helped me think out of the box by launching a cleaning company in 2015 with a capital of $40.

It is never too late.

I wish you a victorious Year 2021.

From international student intent who came to the USA with an allowance of $150 in August 2011, to walking 16 miles daily during the winter (8 miles each way) from Grambling LA to Ruston LA to go to school.

After being kicked out of my Alma matter Louisiana Tech University in 2014, it gave me courage and strength for a new beginning. I was walking down the streets to clean houses and offices! Anthony, welcome to the school of life😏,
I NEVER GAVE UP!

2 years later, I went back to Louisiana Tech and paid off my tuition debts; I was determined to complete my degree, which I did.
Typing this message from a main street business, my goal is to inspire you, by sharing my failures. It is okay to fail.😀

To the wonderful Ruston - Lincoln community, our prestigious Ruston-Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, and to my lovely Alma matter Louisiana Tech University; I am grateful.

You all played an incredible role in shaping somebody who believes that no failure needs to be final. May the exclusive glory be given to God.
