  • Driven to Success

  • Oh my gosh. I think this girl is bloody SUPER! In this generation that SUCKS with tweens and teens growing up so shallow and selfish, this girl is truly a becon of hope! So shut those holes in your faces you racist pieces of crap, this girl is doing things you'll never do in a million years! And just so you know, I'm not even black.

  • She was in the American Girl magazine

  • SHES HAD A LOT OF HELP FROM MOMMY AND DADDY! still cool though

  • Amaya is a truly brilliant girl, and God bless her mom for backing and financing her dreams! The great thing beyond that, though, is that Amaya and her mom are smart enough to keep the business successful. Kudos!

  • I AM SO PROUD OF HER! I'M SHOUTING ' I'M SO PROUD OF HER! To have a mother that would bring this dream to her daughter is beautful, & this child is making $10,000 & helping her too get into the medical field. A child in the sixty grade that is 11 years old. How dare anyone say anthing NEGEATIVE about this clip! I'm going to stop there before i end up being negative. She has a buisness card with buisenss advisors. I'M SO PROUD OF YOU, & BLESS YOUR MOTHER!

  • That is such a cool story. I bet she won't have to worry about the boys stealing her pink bus either. Ha, ha!

  • cool

  • I don't give a damn that talks have broken down in the Middle East.

    Yes, I know another government official is under investigation.

    If I see another house fire, I'll set fire to a reporter.

    Why can't there be more stories like these?

  • I live in Detroit,

    Guess who is taking dance lessons now.

  • This little girl is going to go very far in life.............I hope.

  • COOL!! wish she can come here to Oklahoma.. I would defiantly enroll in roll my daughter..

  • @beautyfyme great idea!!!

  • Congratz!!!

  • OBV have parents that help her

  • Ironically, I find it amusing that you blame the Republicans when many Democrats are fighting the extension of tax cuts for small businesspeople - it will stifle growth & penalize people who want to take risk & achieve. Why would anyone want to work harder to take home less $ & pay more $ to government that rewards entitlement? I'm not 'rich' but I will be hit.Entrepreneurial spirit is what this young lady is doing. Sadly, our country is turning in a different direction. I am not a Republican.

  • wow this is an amazing story for two reasons

    she's is an amazingly bright and driven young girl

    and her mother is so open minded and supportive

    congratulations and all the best of luck :D

  • I hate the word "Tween" your ether a child, or a teenager not a "Tween"

  • @nightskull23

    lol, that's a little pedantic but i kind of feel the same

  • wow, she is really mature and bright for her age

  • briliant congrats

  • Great job for this little girl! To call her a CEO is a stretch, terrible reporting, no wonder this country is in shambles, with reporters like this.

  • @radishfest Even without credit or a "decent" job, a dream, determination, and prayer will take you far. Every person can accomplish great things. It is a matter of choice.

    @genmsu I'm afraid you'll just have to get over your blatantly obvious jealousy. . . Young kids like this are America's true hope. Only the innovation and hardwork of entrepreneurs will make this country prosperous again. Try resisting the bureaucratic impulse and seeing things through the eyes of the innovator.

  • prayer isnt going to get you shit

  • @IncDeathCreed hard work, determination and a vision will

  • @IncDeathCreed true, but for some people, prayer helps people find determination and vision and give the strength of working hard.

  • @IncDeathCreed

    it's funny how people pray for crap and then go out and work their asses off for it and then say it was because of prayer... well not so much funny as it is sad

  • @Leadman1989 I'm not too religious, but prayer does give you focus...

  • @TracyInsomiac

    pros:

    focus

    cons:

    false sense of security

    false sense of accomplishment

    false hope

    demotivation (to take things in your own hands)

  • @gensmu you're probably the person that called to report the kids' lemonade stand didn't have a business license too. These are little girls that may never have had exposure to dance. It's a start. If the children can't afford to dance, how are they in the classes? She has a right to charge a premium for a unique service. (Or is affordable dance lessons now a "Right"?)

    Celebrate a young woman who had the chutzpah to come up with an original idea & has seen it through. The real shame is you.

  • @2DegreesMarketing I agree with you.. Naysayers are always criticizing instead of offering better solutions.. kind of like the Repubs!!

  • @2DegreesMarketing: I agree with you completely. She has room for improvement, true, but genmsu is obviously jealous of her success.

  • She provides lessons to kids who can't afford dance but charges almost DOUBLE a normal studio and you still have to drive to the bus. She also fights obesity by providing pizza for your birthday party and has no training to be a teacher at all. She hasn't passed any grades or teacher certificates. Without proper technique, you develop bad habits that are difficult to break. To me she is a fraud and should be ashamed that she is taking advantage of people who have no knowledge of dance.

  • Comment removed

  • @radishfest I don't think that's true. Any with decent credit, a job, vision, and faith, could do the same for their child. According to the story, the business has at the very least broke even. That's impressive, because most businesses fail in the first year. Since this business has broke even, any money it makes from here out can easily pay for financial advisers and s--- on its own. On the positive tip, we need more parents and kids like the ones featured in this story.

  • @maximuslyricus haha

    i guess i should have said rich parents that care about their kid enough to spend so much money on a whim, that's what "decent credit, a job, vision, and faith" mean imo

  • Very very impressive. This girl is a genius.

  • she's only able to do all of this because she has rich parents, it's not like a pink dance bus would seriously be able to pay for financial advisers and shit on its own

    she can't even drive it :I

  • After watching this, I want to start a business.

  • ..........all i do is ride my bike and play video games thats no future she has future

  • It's a dream come true...literally. Magical.

  • This is genius! She's bet the recession!

  • That's really cool! But what if she gets too tall? xD My guess is that eventually she'll open up a real studio or something. And that's awesome that she has financial advisors...she's learning a lot of valuable life lessons! Keep up the good work!!!

  • This is so sweet!! Way to go Amiya!
