Teen Gets Told Off After Paying For Old Woman’s Food
Right after it had happened, her boss called her into his office. She knew that she had been caught. What everyone thought was an act of goodwill now seemed to have a darker edge to it. This was bound to have some consequences for her.
Her heart raced as she approached the office. She always thought that she would be able to get away with what she had done but it appeared that she was now in deep trouble.
Maria Balboa
Maria Balboa is a 19-year-old Texas A&M University student who works as a bagger at an H-E-B grocery store in the meantime to support herself and pay for her studies.
Recently, she protagonized a story at her workplace that went viral in a matter of days and also taught her a lesson: there are always consequences to one’s actions.
A Difficult Childhood
Maria’s life hadn’t been easy: she had been raised by her grandmother, as her parents were out of the picture. Growing up, there wasn’t a lot of money in the house. But she was raised in a happy, loving, and righteous home, and she never lacked a plate of food and a roof over her head.
She never had as many opportunities as her other peers. However, she made up for it in ways that some may find unusual for someone her age.
Her Grandma Was Always There
Things had been rough and difficult sometimes for her. But her grandmother had always done her best to teach her how to be thankful for what she had.
And that wasn’t all: she also taught her how to relate to the world and others to make the most out of her time on Earth. When the incident happened, her grannie’s lessons immediately came to her mind.
She Was A Student Now
With hard work and dedication, Maria had managed to secure a studentship at Texas A&M University. However, she still needed some extra funds to support herself.
That’s why she started working as a bagger at that H-E-B store. When she took the job, there was no way she could have imagined that it would not also allow her to pay the bills, but also give her viral status just a month into it.
