Maurine Korenteng & Neville Green

Especially Yours
Yonkers, New York

“We have used the hardships in our lives to catapult us instead of hinder us, and to help propel us to greatness.”

Despite having had to live with tremendous adversity, emotional hardships and financial struggles their entire lives, Neville and Maurine have never let that interfere with their goals of succeeding in school. Both students are at the top of their class and members of the nationally acclaimed Academy of Finance magnet at Lincoln High School in Yonkers, New York. Their business plan is for a customized resume-writing service called Especially Yours, for which they won an award in the Yonkers Public Schools business plan competition.
