💨 Abstract

On April 13, 2025, Om Desai, a high school senior, helped a stranger, Elizabeth Mulenga, fix her car near Chantilly High School in Virginia. Using skills from his auto technology classes, Desai diagnosed and fixed an engine misfire. Mulenga was grateful for Desai's kindness, and the incident highlighted the effectiveness of Chantilly Academy's auto technology program.
