He Took "No" to Mean "Maybe Next Time"

Paul Lamar Hunter had a good job at Chrysler. When he heard the plant was closing. At age 40, he wondered where he would go next. Then, his union rep gave him some great news that totally changed the outlook for him and his entire extended family. Paul beat the odds against poor kids being less likely to obtain a college education. As the 19th child out of 21 natural children, he became the first in his family to graduate from college. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in business administration from Upper Iowa University in 2012.
