Crimson Price took a job at Taco Bell the last
couple of years of high school to help her mom
out with the bills and also save a little money
for college, and Taco Bell decided to give her ten
thousand dollars to go to school. What isn't that crazy?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
That's a they did awesome.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I had no idea that Taco Bell had a scholarship.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
I didn't know any Yeah, they give it out.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Like this to like high school kids that work there,
or anyone that works there that wants to go back
to school. It's called the Live Moss Scholarship. Of course,
so great and it made her pop. It made it
possible for her to study biology and health sciences at
East Tennessee State University. Allowing her to pursue her dream
of becoming a doctor. From Taco Bell to being a doctor.

(01:13):
She's from Athens, Tennessee. She said she was shocked to
be one of the lucky recipients of the college grants.
She said she really wasn't expecting it. She comes from
a very rural town and a lot of people there
don't have money for college, so I'm very grateful for
the opportunity. It's been such a major help in my
ambition to become a doctor. Certainly wasn't something I thought
was going to happen when I started working at Taco

Bell at sixteen Crazy A few months later after she
started working there, you know, she's enjoying the process, but
it's a job after all. And then one day she
got a special visit from her supervisor's boss, the regional
manager came to the store to announce the results. She
said that it felt like a very special moment, and

(01:57):
Crimson was accepted into the Honor scholars program at the university.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
That's amazing.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
The money also facilitated her being able to do unpaid
internships during her degree, so she was able to join
an international excursion in Ecuador, where she assisted doctors and
graduate students in providing medical care to people. She is
now determined to crush her MCAT testing and get accepted
into her ideal medical school. She plans to focus on

(02:26):
the importance of communication accessibility for the deaf in local clinics.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
That's the Taco Bell money, geez.

Speaker 2 (02:34):
So next time you go through the Taco Bell drive through,
that might be your doctor one day.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Yeah,
