Description

"I bought a three bedroom house. And it's just me and I have a dog, and that's very exciting." Norman talks about his dream to own his own home, getting the help he needed and taking 15 classes on homeownership to prove he was credit-worthy. Norman says he wanted to quit school, but a teacher at Riverview High School gave him the confidence to keep going. He describes his job as a dishwasher for a Huntington, Indiana diner where he's worked for over a decade. Norman was interviewed in 2013.
