After graduating from high school，many young people are excited to go to college.But not all.Some may want to jump right into a business.
John Cronin from Long Island，New York didn't dream of going to college.He dreamed of going into business with his father.But they did not know what kind of business it would be.
John thought about starting a food truck.However，there was one problem.Neither he nor his father could cook.After some thinking，the father-son team decided to go into business making a product the young John loves：socks!Mark，John's father，says his son has always loved colorful，wild jye.aicks.So，they created John's Crazy Socks Company.
John was born with Down's syndrome（唐氏綜合征） that causes learning disabilities.But that did not stop him from
being successful in the business world.
John works on sock design（設(shè)計(jì)） but he is also the face of the company.This means his image（圖像） is used to help sell the product.Mark takes care of the books（賬簿），managing money，and other things.
Mark said， "We've been able to create 35 jobs- 18 of those are held by people with different abilities.We've raised over 135，000 dollars for our charity（慈善） partners.And our customers are happy.We have over 10，000 online reviews- 96 percent of those are five-star reviews- and we've done a lot of work，a lot of business.We've shipped over 115，000 orders and got over 4 million dollars."
