We read a lot of negative and angry things on Twitter … such is the world of social media.
But every once in awhile we come across a positive thread that must be shared with the maniacs who read us.
Like this from a young man you’ve likely never heard of named Jauan D. Knight.
Man y’all. I’m 21. I have a degree. A full time job(Career). And am about to get a second degree for free. Y’all I’m from the hood. I was born to a 15 year old mother. I battled suicide for 5 years. This was not supposed to be my story. To God be the glory.

We.
Love.
This.
And I don’t tell my story to brag or o viral. I tell it cause if God did it for me he can do it for someone else!

The thread itself shows why Jauan has indeed been as successful as he has been; this level of humility and modesty is missing with so many young adults.
We know, we sound like the old lady yelling at kids to get off her lawn, but it’s true.
You really don’t give yourself the credit there? I’d be interested in the additional ben. aspects of your life that you felt weren’t worth mentioning, but felt somehow as though they were god given. I’m hoping it’s something more than “my resilience”. Just curious y u pass credit

Are you asking why I credit my story to God?
— anything but juan (@JauanDKnight) May 21, 2018
This is so good.
If God exists, everyone has God. There are also plenty of people that accept God that aren’t as fortunate to find themselves in the situation you’re presently referencing. So, I’m deducing that there is something about You that is the likely differentiator, deserving the credit.

I’m just curious what drives you to point to glory for what you’ve achieved to an external source that should have a universal presence in everyone, and not defining to your achievements. Hope that makes sense. Not trying to be a dick, just saw ur tweet on my TL n felt compelled
— Chris Meadows (@csmeadows) May 21, 2018
Pay attention here, because the person asking Jauan about his tweet isn’t being nasty or confrontational.
Again, a rarity on Twitter.
I’m not offended, you have the right to question. I credit my story to God because I KNOW it was God who brought me out. Things happened that I absolutely could not have handled by myself. Confirmations. Signs. Miracles. I credit a living God because of experiences in my journey.

I also never cease to credit my mother. She took a bad situation and made it better for me. But, if you ask her, she would also give God credit for helping her make it through. Faith is never a scientifically proven thing, but tested faith is certain, and I am certain it was God

How can you NOT just adore this?
Thanks for the reply back. Didn’t know it was going to extend to me receiving notifications from everyone and their mother about the subsequent religious debate. Good luck on the future man, I presume you have a proper vision and the focus to accomplish it. God be with you. ✌️

Most def. I respect your beliefs and opinions. I pray you aren’t receiving hate because of them, cause that’s not the reflection of my God I would want to give you or anyone else either.
— anything but juan (@JauanDKnight) May 22, 2018
No hate just debate my brother, we all see the same thing thru different lenses.
— Chris Meadows (@csmeadows) May 22, 2018
No hate, just debate.
Pay attention, Twitter.
I can actually really appreciate the conversation yall managed to have without hate or dismissal of the others opinion.
— Sex Metal Barbie (@COJeepBitch) May 22, 2018
Me too. It was refreshing.
— Rockelle (@RockelleHend) May 22, 2018
It was indeed.
I needed this! Thank you and I wish you nothing but the best in life king!

So did we!
I’m so glad I could help , even if a little ?
— anything but juan (@JauanDKnight) May 21, 2018
This helped so many far more than Jauan will ever really know.
Well done.
