After graduating from high school，many young people are excited to go off to college.But not all.Some may want to skip college and jump right into a business.That was the case with John Cronin from Long Island.New York.He did not 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 Cronin thought about starting a food truck.But，there was one problem.Neither he nor his father can cook.After some thinking，the father-son team decided to go into business making a product the younger John loved：socks!Mark，John's father，said his son has always loved colourful，wild jye.aicks.So they created John's Crazy Socks Company.
John was born with Down Syndrome that causes learning disabilities.But that has not stopped him from gaining major success in the business world.
John works on sock design but he is also the face of the company.This means he represents the company on its advertising used to help sell the product.Mark takes care of the books，managing money，and other things，Mark said，"We've been able to create 35 jobs-18 of those are held by people with differing abilities.We've raised over ＄135，000 for our charity 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 115，00 orders and earned over ＄4 million."Five percent of John's profits goes to the Special Olympics.
