What if your boss offered to put your child through medical school?

That's the deal one Texas-based businessman made with its employees, and the generous offer is making some very visible changes.

It’s a story about dreams, dreams that started at a mall near your home at a salon called Visible Changes.

“This is going to make our customers happy, makes our staff happy,” CEO and founder John McCormack said. “It makes us happy.”

Fifteen years ago he made a promise to all his employees that if any of their children had a passion to be a doctor, he would pay their way through medical school.

“When we started the company, 75 percent didn’t have a high school diploma, so everybody said to me well you can’t do things, and I just smiled,” he said. “I have been told that my whole life.”

Well the hugs, the smiles and the tears Tuesday night give away what happened next.

Thirteen years ago Hoa Dinh began working at Visible Changes after moving here from Vietnam. She raised three girls, one of them Doan.

“I think I am still a little mesmerized,” Doan said. “Something I have worked a very long time for.”

Farida Bicquart moved to America from India and has been an employee at Visible Changes for 21 years.

“I want to thank each of my clients for 21 years to help me to raise my daughter,” Bicquart said.

Her daughter Celine: “To go in and not have to worry about student loans and when my money is going to come in ... it really was a burden lifted off,” she said.

Why do all of this? McCormack said helping your fellow man is the greatest gift of all.

With the shortage of doctors, he urges other executives to do the same.

“What’s our purpose for being here on earth?” he said. “I think the purpose is that we are here; I found that all the joy I get is helping other people.”
And thanks to McCormack, Doan Do and Celine Bicquart graduated from medical school, and the world became a better place.
