Texas waitress who cut food for diner gets $16K scholarship
When I read about this yesterday, I fully expected the article to include a photo of a perky blonde teenage waitress, especially since it took place in Texas. The fact that the photo shows someone who doesn’t fit the usual stereotype of someone who got rewarded was a truly pleasant surprise!
Check out the photo at the link!
LA MARQUE, Texas (AP) — A server at a Houston-area diner has received an unexpected $16,000 college scholarship after details of her act of kindness — cutting an ailing customer's food — spread online.
Texas Southern University in Houston on Thursday awarded the scholarship to 18-year-old Evoni "Nini" Williams. She works at a Waffle House in La Marque and has been saving money for college.
Another customer, Laura Wolf, was at the Waffle House last Saturday. Wolf overheard a struggling elderly patron, who uses oxygen, say he had trouble with his hands and couldn't cut the ham on his plate. Wolf snapped a photo as Williams cut the man's food.
