This is a Real Story: Facebook
3 year ago, Zuckerberg got disappointed at the current justice system. so he decided to do something to change it for the better, his research lead him to the San Quentin program, This program aimed at educating prisoners so they have shot at a better life when they get out.
Zuckerberg did not waste a moment to become a part of it so, he supported and funded that program. He even visited the San Quentin prison to see the differences it hade made.
To his surprise, It was success with many of the prisoners and one of them named “Aly Tamboura” stood out from the rest. He was sentenced 14 years in prison and he thought that all hope was lost for future but feeling of Motivation arose in him when Mark Zuckerberg came on a tour of the prison.
Zukerberg personally met and told Tamboura how impressed he was by his efforts.
and even encouraged him to apply at facebook. that feeling of approval from Zuckerberg stayed with him long after.
He worked day and night to learn how to code and become as good at it, as possibly could.
When Aly got released, he got a job at Facebook. he even met Mark after joining the facebook.
To Tamboura’s shock, Mark remembered him and congratulated him on making it this far.
Today, Tamboura is Manager of Technology for Chan Zuckerberg Initiative.
“Second chances are given to prove that we could be better even after we fall.”
Everyone deserves a second chance to Clean Up their Mistakes.
