In this personal, motivational monologue, Omar Zenhom recounts his first job at age 13 washing cars at a Porsche dealership, where his father sold cars. The experience planted a lifelong dream of owning a Porsche. Fast‑forward to age 32, while working as a broke schoolteacher with no savings or safety net, Omar decides to travel to the Gold Coast—one of only ten locations in Australia that sells his desired model—and purchases the car in a single day. He shares the story not to brag but to illustrate that dramatic life changes can happen quickly, even when circumstances seem limiting. The narrative emphasizes belief in future possibilities, the power of perseverance, and the surprise that a younger self would have at hearing this outcome.

Chapters

My first job when I was 13 years old was washing cars at the wash bay at a Porsche dealership. My dad sold cars for a living. We used to go to work together on Saturday and he would go sell cars in the showroom and I would go and wash cars and I would wash every detail, every detail of these cars. I would sit there and say to myself, one day, one day I'm going to drive one of these. Well, I'm on my way to the Gold Coast right now and I'm going to go buy my dream car, my dream Porsche. There's only about 10 of them in Australia, so that's why I got to go to the Gold Coast. I'm going and come back in the same day. But I don't share that to just like flex. I kind of feel a little cringe even saying it. I share that because when I was 32, I was a broke schoolteacher with no plan, with no savings, with no safety net. And I still changed my life anyway. And I'm sharing this because things can change quickly. If I told 13-year-old Omar that you're going to be flying to another state and buying your dream car, your dream Porsche, he wouldn't believe me. He wouldn't.
