..of dented cars and great anticipations

In the regular course of doing his work, this 21-year old came across a fantastic printer who can print his t-shirts for a very small fee. This opportunity came about as a result of him working for the Graduate Entrepreneur Development centre, who agreed to fund his old t-shirt selling business, provided that he get the students involved in the business as well.

In his excitement to view the t-shirt samples our 21-year old got into a very nasty bang-up with a car twice the size of his. Devastated and distraught at the damage to his car, our 21-year old nonetheless spoke with the other driver and decided to make a police report the following day. (FYI, the 21-year old was found to be at fault and had to pay a summon :( ). Anyway, he did get the samples eventually which were to his liking.

Thanking God Almighty and realising that He must be sending him a message, the 21-year old begins to reflect on his life. So he decides that he should probably be more committed and work (not enough maybe? hm?) and that he should be honest with his students. They deserve to know his age.

Upon telling them, he was met with dropped jaws and stunned faces. And A LOT of questions. Which he answered. Fortunately they did not think any less of him despite his age.

Still devastated by the damage to his car, the 21-year old continues to push forward. Now that he won't have a car for almost 1 month (as it is in the workshop) he has to figure out how to get around now... (beg his parents to lend their car? Hm?)

Anyway, there is an investment meeting just around the corner. The 21-year old hopes that it will be the answer to his current problems...

to be continued...
