TUCSON, Ariz. — A Tucson McDonald's crew member is getting to focus more on his education through a program called McDonald's Archways to Opportunity.
Brian Maiyo moved to Arizona from Kenya when he was 10-years-old, and started working at McDonald's after high school.
He currently attends Pima Community College, and hopes to move forward with getting a degree in business administration from the University of Arizona.
Maiyo also hopes to join the U.S. Air Force one day.
Mcdonald's crew member Brian Maiyo said "Doing a full 40 hours and doing school work, that was putting a huge strain on my life, i found myself not getting enough sleep, not having a social life more or less."
He is also in a manager position at just 20-year-old.
Maiyo then he applied for the program, now he gets $2,500 per year to put toward his tuition, and he also works fewer hours so he can spend more time focusing on school work.
