Classmates Mock Poor Boy for Living in Trailer until They See Him Moving into a Penthouse
Still, she raised Sam to appreciate life’s blessings. “We may not have much, but always be grateful for the little we do have,” she often reminded him.
At school, Sam endured relentless bullying.
Classmates mocked him with cruel nicknames like “bum” and “broke boy,” and one bully, Jared, went so far as to sneer, “People like you will always live in trailers.” But Susan’s lessons instilled a toughness in Sam.
He didn’t let the insults define him and instead dreamed of one day buying a mansion for himself and his mom.
One stormy day, their landlord, Tobey—a real estate agent whose posters were plastered all over town—came by to collect rent.
As the storm intensified, Tobey’s car wouldn’t start. “Don’t worry, sir.
Let me take a look,” Sam offered. With his mechanical skills honed from weekend work at a local garage, Sam quickly fixed the car, earning Tobey’s admiration.
“Thanks, kid. I’ve never seen someone fix an engine in the rain before,” Tobey remarked, impressed. He later offered Sam a side job washing his car every two weeks.
