Boss gives car to student who walks 32km to work
Impressed by the young American man's act of walking from dusk to dawn to get to his new job, his boss gave him his own car.
Unable to buy a car after his car broke down, Walter Carr, 30, walked from his Homewood home at midnight to get to a job as a porter in Pelham before 8 a.m. last Friday. Pelham police gave the University of Alabama student a ride at 4 a.m. when they saw him on the freeway and took him to breakfast before dropping him off at the front door of a customer namedJenny Lamey.
Lamey said that even though he had been walking for several hours, Carr did not rest but eagerly got to work right away."I am so inspired by Carr and his journey. He is humble, kind, passionate, and ambitious. He is hard-working and strong," Lamey wrote on Facebook.acebook

After reading these shared lines, the CEO of the company where Carr just joined, Mr. Luke Marklin, drove from Tennessee to Alabama on Monday to acknowledge the new employee's enthusiasm and gave him his own 2014 Ford Escape.
Both Lamey and CEO Marklin were motivated to help Carr when they learned that the student had been displaced when his and his mother's home was lost in Hurricane Katrina.
"There are big decisions that need to be made quickly because they are the right thing to do - and this is one of them,"Marklin said toWMBA.
Carr hopes to one day become a US Marine, so he is always willing to train himself for challenges. He hopes his story will inspire others who are struggling to get what they want in life, no matter how hard it is.
