12 and 13-Year Old Brothers Run Their Own Bakery While Taking College Courses
In addition to making some money through the business, they donate part of their earnings to charity. They also use their funds to donate hundreds of meals to the homeless.
โWe like giving back to the community because the community has given a lot to us,โ Shane told ABC 13. โWe give to Fort Bend Cares and the JB Dondolo Foundation, which is trying to rebuild a hospital in Africa.โ
Aside from baking, the brothers are also fond of studying math and science. Shane, who is in 8th grade, is taking college-level math and engineering courses at Houston Community College. Nigel, who is a 7th-grader, is taking pre-calculus course. They try to incorporate what they learn in baking.
โI like to bake because itโs a mix of art and a mix of science,โ said Shane. โYou need to know how acids react to bases.โ
Whatโs more, the unstoppable brothers also love writing and they recently published their first book, Beyond the Kitchen: How to Cook Up Success with Lifeโs Mistakes, that aims to inspire young people like them to reach their dreams. For every book sold, a dollar goes o the JB Dondolo Foundation.
โItโs about our failures that weโve made in the kitchen and how we learned from them,โ said Nigel. โWe just released our book last week.โ
โIt teaches how you donโt have to be perfect to succeed,โ said Shane. โItโs okay to fail as long as you learn from it.โ
