“Heard you were late this morning,” said Phil. “Yeah, got locked out of my stupid car, now I have to come up with the money it cost me to get it opened.” “Uh, sorry kid! Why don’t you take one of my tables? It’s a couple, they just sat down.” “Thanks man,” Cody made sure…

Sep 29, 2014Anonymous2 CommentsContributorsReflection

I’ve been told many times throughout my 19 years of life that I am an incredibly meticulous person.
