Certain moments in life shape who we are and how we see the world, especially when they happen in our childhood. The stories shared here have deeply affected these individuals, staying with them long after they happened.
The Story:
I was hanging out with friends at the local coffee shop and asked my dad to pick me up. When I saw him pull into the parking lot, I said goodbye to my friends and walked out to the car. I opened the back door and got in, only to see a man who wasn’t my dad.
He looked at me and said, “I’ll give you whatever you want, just don’t harm me or steal my car.” Realizing my mistake, I apologized, jumped out of the car, and ran back into the coffee shop.
