Uber driver Latonya Young has given rides to hundreds of passengers—but there is one particular car ride she will never forget. The 43-year-old single mother from Atlanta, had been studying criminal justice at Georgia State University until she was suddenly barred from continuing her classes because of an unpaid $700 balance on her account. Latonya works as a hair stylist by day and an Uber driver by night, and one night mentioned her financial struggles to a passenger. A few days later, she got a call from Georgia State University saying that she was free to re-enroll in more classes since her Uber passenger, Kevin Esch, had paid off her remaining balance!

A few weeks ago, Latonya graduated with her Associate degree and guess who was in the audience… Kevin was there as an inspiration to her as she prepares to study for her Bachelor’s degree.
