Reza And Resourse

Satisfactory Essays

I often go to my favorite restaurant called Andale after school. It is a great Mexican place, and the owners know my name. They are there all the time to talk to me, and one time Mirna, one of the owners, even helped me with Spanish because she is from Honduras. The other owner, Reza, is from Iran. One thing I never knew about them though is that they are the perfect people for this project. Reza and Mirna grew up very poor. Reza told me that they ate out of the garbage some days. But, they both managed to escape poverty in their countries and moved here. Once here, Reza and Mirna started a successful business called Andale.

When Reza and Mirna were growing up, they had no help from others. So, they strive every day with banners and posters in their restaurant and everywhere you could put them to prove to people that others nearby need help. I sometimes see them walking up to cars and putting Andale on Wheels(the name of the bus idea) posters on the windshields. I do not know if this is even very legal, but it gets people's attention. One of my favorite things that Reza and Mirna do is put their small restaurant against huge restaurant chains. When I asked them about the project, they told me that in a newspaper article, they challenged Chick fil a. I would need to pay 70$ for that article so I asked them what they said instead. In the article they stated that “since such a small business is doing so much, why could not huge chains like chick fil a at least do more”(Ghassemi, Reza and Mirna. “Personal Interview”, 9/18/17).They challenged them even if it risked becoming enemies with a huge restaurant and ruining their good name. Reza and Mirna fit the description of having hope because they want and believe that their bus idea will spark others to do more and that their bus will live on long after them, making a huge impact on our society. Most importantly, they hope that what they do will bring attention to people struggling nearby.
I strongly believe that Reza and Mirna are modern day
