This 8-Year-Old Kid Who Drove Him And His 4-Year-Old Sister To A McDonalds Cause They Were Hungry Is A Goddamn Hero
EAST PALESTINE, Ohio – It wasn’t a Big Mac attack, but a hankering for a cheeseburger that prompted an eight-year-old boy from East Palestine to get behind the wheel of his dad’s van and drive to the local McDonald’s with his 4-year-old sister. East Palestine Police officer Jacob Koehler tells 21 News that the boy pulled up to the drive-thru window of the restaurant at around 8 p.m. Sunday after driving from his home where his parents were sleeping about a half mile away. The boy just wanted to buy a cheeseburger at the Market Street restaurant, according to police. “He looked up videos on YouTube on how to drive,” said officer Koehler, who adds that witnesses say the boy followed the rules of the road, stopping for lights and keeping within speed limits.
The internet throws around the word hero a lot. It seems like everyone is a hero nowadays. It takes very little for the internet to deem you a hero. So much so that the word doesn’t mean anything anymore which pisses me off when we get a story like this where a real hero emerges. I don’t know anything about this kid but I know he’s gonna be a star at whatever he chooses to do. Because he sees something he wants and goes for it. Any other dumbass 8-year-old would be like, “Well me and my sister are hungry but I don’t know how to drive a car so I guess we’re gonna starve.” Not this kid. Not his sister. He took matters into his owns hands and drove that fucking car to the golden arches and got them food. You can’t teach that kind of drive and determination. I’d buy stock in this kid if I could.
Sneaky the best part of the whole thing

God bless YouTube. It can teach you everything you need to know. Anybody who goes to college in 2017 is a goddamn moron. I’m serious. You can either pay THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of dollars for a stupid piece of paper or you can buy a laptop and wifi and learn the exact same shit. I bet YouTube could teach you how to become a brain surgeon faster than college. That’s the world we’re living in now. College is for suckers.
