Jerry is a restaurant manager known for his positive attitude. When asked how he stays positive, Jerry says he chooses every morning to be in a good mood and learn from bad situations rather than see himself as a victim. Years later, Jerry was robbed and shot during a robbery but survived due to his determination to live and humor during his recovery process. Jerry's positive outlook helped him survive and taught others that one's attitude is a choice that can make life easier.
