The restaurant. It's a meme.
This teen is obviously not a member of lay about OBAMANATION. He has not been Democrat brainwashed
Good for him! I’d feel a lot better about this country’s future if more kids had this one’s initiative.
I am a little curious about the name Jhaqueil though.
On a white kid? Just don't fit. Ron would be a better fit.
Has this attitude been "educated" out of the majority of us? I doubt it, but it's not encouraged now.
The opposite is with the predictable results. We are to be taken care of.
His first name is Reagan betcha his parents are conservatives.
“Clearly Tom Harkin was right.
$9 per hour minimum wage is WAAAAAAAYYY too low.”
/////media meme of the day
What’s weird to me is a DQ open in the winter time.
And he’s doing it because his mom died and he is taking care of his brothers and sisters!!!!
Some girl better snatch this fine young man up!
Odd name. I was wondering possibly French ancestery, but the only place I find the name on facebook apparently belongs to this kid. Full name: “Jhaqueil DamianJoel Reagan.”
Jhaqueil can also be found in Urban Dictionary, with a meaning that can’t be posted here. Maybe it’s an added nickname, if he didn’t like his given name. Odd.
Oh, that the current Administration possessed such values and would use its daily media exposure to inspire such a sense of self-reliance and responsibility among youth.
This, truly, represents the spirit of liberty among those who first came to these shores!
If so-called "progressive" policies don't destroy this young man's opportunities, then perhaps his story may, one day, match that contained in the following story from the 18th Century:
At the web site of PRONI, The Public Records of Northern Ireland - here - can be found inspiring words about Irish emigrants to the U. S.Of special note are the words of John Dunlap, an emigrant, who was responsible for the printing of the new nation's Declaraiton of Independence.
On 12 May 1785, he wrote from Philadelphia to his brother-in-law, Robert Rutherford, Strabane, Co. Tyrone, extolling the advantages of the New World and referred to his brother, James Dunlap, who was likewise in America:
"... my brother James left this for Kentucky a few weeks ago; I expect him back in the summer; then perhaps he may take a trip to Ireland. The account he gives of the soil is pleasing but the difficulty of going to it from this is great; indeed the distance is not less than a thousand miles. I was there last year and must confess that although the journey is a difficult one I did not begrudge the time and labour it cost me. We are told the parliament of Ireland means to lay restrictions on those who want to come from that country to this; time will tell whether or no this will answer the purpose they intend. People with a family advanced in life find great difficulties in emigration but the young men of Ireland who wish to be free and happy should leave it and come here as quick as possible; there is no place in the world where a man meets so rich a reward for good conduct and industry as in America ... "
Also excerpted from the PRONI site is the following observation from the DUNLAP/DELAP PAPERS at: here
"John Dunlap's is not an untypical life story of many who 'went west' from Co. Tyrone in the 18th century to make a new life and create a new country to which they then encouraged and assisted others to migrate. One went and succeeded and therefore others followed. By the time he died, on 27 November 1812, aged 66, John Dunlap had amassed a large fortune and had subscribed £4,000 in 1780 to the National Bank formed to supply the American Army, and he held 98,000 acres in Virginia and the adjoining counties of Kentucky. He also owned the land on which Utica, Ohio, stands.
"He had played his part in military affairs during the War of Independence, as a founder in 1774 of the 1st Troop of Philadelphia City Cavalry; as a cornet he accompanied this command in the campaign of 1776-1777, taking part in actions at Princeton and Trenton. After the war, from 1789 to 1792, he was a member of the Common Council of Philadelphia. In 1812 he was buried at Christ Church, Philadelphia.
"The site of his birth at Meetinghouse Street, Strabane, is marked by a plaque erected by Strabane Urban District Council in 1965."

Reagan said it’s been hard finding opportunities. He was forced to quit school two years ago when his mother died. He completed his GED while staying home to care for his siblings.

This brought tears to my ears. What a lovely end to his story.

Damn odd reaction. Do Brits do that often?
Hell, I would have given him a job right then and there, too.
Maybe he knew what PRESIDENT REAGAN did for the USA.
7 dollars an hour?
They are pay adults 7, 8 and 9 bucks an hour...You know, 1990 wages.
They work most of the week for gas, and food. Anything else, forget it....
Glenn Beck talked about this kid on his radio show today.
Glenn said he will try to interview this young man tomorrow, Wednesday, on his radio show.
It’s refreshing to see this work ethic in 2013 America.
The extreme foolish seem to be everywhere nowadays..
Awesome story. Best of luck to Jhaqueil Reagan in what will be the beginning of an astonishingly successful career. I hope that Mr. Bouvier is richly rewarded for recognizing and rewarding the potential of this young man.
The restaurant. It's a meme.
It's unusual for the media to allow a positive story about White males to see the light of day.
