Jhaqueil Reagan the true American: Walks 10 miles through snow for minimum wage job, doesn't get it, but gets hired by another restaurant impressed with his determination

An unemployed teenager who embarked on a 10-mile walk through the snow for a job interview saw his dedication pay off after another restaurant owner, impressed with his work ethic, offered him a job at his business.

Jhaqueil Reagan, 18, was walking to an appointment at Dairy Queen, a fast food chain, in Indianapolis, when he approached Art Bouvier to ask directions.

Mr Bouvier, the owner of a Cajun restaurant, told the teenager that he was still about seven miles from his destination.

"I said, 'You'd be better off on a bus especially in this weather.' He just said, 'Okay, thank you.' And he kept going," Mr Bouvier told local television station WLFI.

Later the same morning, while driving to a coffee shop, Mr Bouvier saw Mr Reagan walking by the side of the road and offered him a lift.

"I said, well how come you're not on the bus?" Mr Bouvier said. "He said, 'I can't afford the bus until I get a job.'

"I'm thinking to myself, here's a kid walking almost 10 miles in the ice and slush and snow for the hope of a job at minimum wage. That's the kind of story your parents used to tell, my parents used to tell."
