“I had to move out on my own when I was 17. I had no money at all and drove an old clunker. I got a flat tire to match the flat spare in the trunk. I went to the Discount Tire to see if they could patch it. They said that belts were showing around the tire, in fact, all of the tires, and I would have to replace all four. I thanked them, went outside, sat in my car and started crying. The manager came out and knocked on the window. He said that he had a set of tires that would fit my wheels. I told him thanks, but didn’t have any money. He told me not to worry about it and when I graduate, I’ll come back and buy my tires from them.”
