A Starbucks Manager Went Above And Beyond To Give This Teen A Chance. The Result Has Been Incredible

January 28, 2016

I would like to introduce you to a young teenager named Sam.

When he was offered a position to work at Starbucks, Sam told his parents that for the first time in his life, his life had real meaning. Sam was diagnosed with autism and like some people with autism Sam has a movement disorder. He has a hard time keeping his body still. Sam never thought that he would be able to work behind the bar because of his sudden movements, but his manager Chris believed in him and got Sam to channel his movements into dance.

It has taken Sam and Chris a lot of shifts and hours to get Sam to do what he is doing in the video, but Sam is now known as the dancing barista! If it wasn't for Chris believing in Sam, he would of never believed in himself.

More people like Sam need to be seen, heard and given a chance to thrive and dance. Please show your support by sharing and reposting.
