In a remarkable display of community spirit, a student from Cheshire College – South & West recently went above and beyond to help a local resident in need, demonstrating his kindness, technical skills, and strong character.
On the evening of December 18th, Sue Molesworth, a local resident, found herself stranded in a car park after driving through a flooded stretch of the A500. While navigating flood, Sue’s car’s mudguard became detached and lodged around the tire, leaving her unable to drive. After spending over an hour trying to secure a call out from various breakdown services, Sue was unable to get the help she desperately needed.
In a fortunate turn of events, three young people, including Cheshire College student Milosz, were passing by the car park and noticed Sue’s predicament.
17-year-old Vehicle Maintenance and Repair Student, Milosz Buczynski, quickly identified the issue with the mudguard. His friends joined in to assist, using their tools to jack up the car and free the mudguard. Upon further inspection, Milosz pointed out a bulge in the tire and advised Sue to drive home cautiously.
Sue was moved by their selflessness, noting that the three refused any monetary reward and instead provided their assistance out of sheer kindness. The incident, occurring just a week before Christmas, was humorously dubbed by her friends as the intervention of the “Three Wise Mechanics.”
Sue was deeply impressed by Milosz’s respectful approach throughout the whole ordeal. She shared, “Milosz was not only kind but incredibly polite. He approached the situation with caution and respect, even asking for permission before opening the boot of my car. His thoughtfulness truly stood out.”
After hearing from Sue and in recognition of Milosz’s actions, Cheshire College invited her to the Academy Restaurant for lunch, where she had the chance to personally express her gratitude to Milosz. Although he almost arrived late due to helping another motorist, the two eventually reunited.
Milosz, reflecting on the experience, shared, “I saw a woman struggling in the rain with the wheel arch hanging off, and I just felt I had to help. It’s something that’s happened before, so I didn’t think much of it. I was happy to assist.” Milosz also expressed his gratitude to Sue for taking the time to personally thank him at the College.
Sue, in turn, praised Milosz for his selflessness, saying, “He is a credit to his family and to Cheshire College. His parents should be extremely proud of him.”
Cheshire College is proud to foster not only technical skills but also the values of compassion and community involvement in its students. Milosz and his friends have certainly shown that even the simplest acts of kindness can leave a lasting impact.
