Hawaii teenager recycles to help students reach college

In the beginning, Genshu Price recycled for his own sake — his father said it would be a good way to save money for his college tuition.

But then, he came up with grander idea: Why not recycle thousands of bottles and cans to help other students in Hawaii reach their college dream.

“That way, it would be able to help a lot more local families, help a lot more people throughout the generations,” Price said.

Great fodder for college applications. “When I was 13, I startrted recycling to help students pay for college”. My son attended a highly competitive private schools in the Bay Area. Parents were constantly dreaming up stuff to create a “profile” for their kids for college. Some people start their “Ivy League” schemes as early as preschool. I am not even kidding. I’m always skeptical about these stories about these “kids” because 9 out of 10 it’s their parents.
