Tiffany Haddish did not have an easy childhood, but she was always determined to keep moving

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
Growing up was difficult for Tiffany for many reasons. First, she was teased when she was in elementary and middle school because she smelled like onions and had flies all over her body. The flies came because of the moles on her face, and the onion smell was caused by the breakfast her mother made every morning. She had long hair and a wart on her forehead that made the other kids call her a “Dirty Ass Unicorn.”

Tiffany attended El Camino Real High School, and it was way better than elementary and middle school. Other kids liked her funny nature, fashion sense, and wordplay. She became famous in school because of all the things she did to win over a boy named Audie. She stalked him and kept giving him Snickers and candy. Although Tiffany was in ninth grade, she could neither read nor write. So, she kept getting people to read things to her so she could write love letters to Audie and participate in class. She joined drama class and the teacher — Miss Gree — figured that she couldn’t read or write. Miss Gree took her aside and taught her the basics of reading and writing. Tiffany went on to do a monologue at the Shakespeare Festival and won first place.
Nobody has all the answers, so we must stay open-minded and learn from the people around us.
Tiffany’s experiences fill the pages of this summary and show you how even the most successful people can have ugly experiences. Keep reading to find out how Tiffany changed her story and became “The Last Black Unicorn.”
second key point

Tiffany started making money at an early age doing the things she liked

In Tiffany’s tenth-grade year, she became the Conquistador, the Spanish soldier mascot of El Camino Real High School. Before then, nobody had tried out to be the mascot except her. People loved it, and her routine was fun. Tiffany became the most popular girl in school, and they even put a plaque on the wall with her name on it. She was getting paid $50 per game, in her senior year, to be the high school mascot. She had a boyfriend on the football team, and he was a grade under her. People called him the assistant mascot, and in her senior year, they broke up because he got tired. Tiffany was mad about everything and quit being a mascot to pursue other interests.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
