With his attitude he should go far.
Via The Daily Mail:
A homeless teenager found sleeping in a tent outside a Georgia college after biking six hours to get there is receiving an outpouring of help and support from across the country.
Police discovered Fred Barley, 19, sleeping in a tent in the bushes of Gordon State College campus in Barnesville last week.
At first, police told the teen to come out with his hands up.
But instead of kicking him off the grounds, the cops sat down and listened to his story. It turns out Barley is homeless and he rode his little brother's bicycle more than 50 miles in the blistering heat from Conyers to the campus to register for classes for his second semester at Gordon.
Then he decided to stay there until the dorms opened. However, they don't open until July 18.
Barley had a bowl of cereal and two jugs of water to last him until he could find a job.
Impressed and touched, the two officers put him up in a motel room for two nights.
That's where this incredible story of support started.
One of the officer's wives posted the teen's story on a community Facebook page and those moved by his determination began stepping up to help, according to WSB-TV.
Casey Blaney, one of the women who first heard about Barley's story, couldn't get him out of her mind.
She and her son, Cole, went to go find the teen at the motel when she knew his two days were up.
Asking what she could do for him, he said the only thing he wanted was a job.
Blaney and her son hit the stores, and found a job for him as a dishwasher at DBs Pizzeria, owned by Debbie Adamson.
