According to Derrick, his life changed when a restaurant manager believed in him enough to offer him a job. Before that, he had received several refusals from several.
On how he did his job, he said:
“Right before I gave up on this 10th day, and I’ll never forget it, I went to a Greek restaurant in downtown Detroit. I met a gentleman, I said to him, “Look, I’ve made a lot of bad choices and bad decisions in my life. I said, ‘I’m not looking for a gift,’ I said, ‘but if you give me an opportunity or a chance, I won’t let you down. I am a great cook ”.
Succeeding was not easy
Although he looked rough and without clean clothes, the man gave him a chance as a cook. He worked hard and was able to save enough money to open his own pizzeria.
