The RAV4 Kid


Two years ago during phase 2 of my civ sound project, I met this college kid at a local car shop. He was 18 y.o. then and was already driving a souped up 2002 Toyota RAV4. Lucky guy. He was there because like me, he was having his auto sounds upgraded. But unlike me, his budget was like close to unlimited. The kid said he was studying at some obscure university. Let me correct that, he is enrolled, sometimes goes to school, most of the time goes drinking with friends. Sounds cool, huh? Now here's the kicker, he claims that his 42 year old Dad is too old that he doesn't understand him.

Lessons learned during my encounter:
(1) That fathers should highlight the value of education to their children.
(2) That the children should learn to count his blessings. How many teenagers go to school in the Ph? And how many drive an SUV in the Ph when going to school?
