What would you do if someone gave you $250 for no reason other than the fact that they wanted to help you out? That's the situation I find myself facing. Today I found out that in order to enroll at University I was going to have to fly to Melbourne by this coming Monday in order to finalise everything, otherwise I would not be enrolled. Well, I'd previously thought that it would be possible to take care of most of the enrollment process via the internet and phone and that the rest could be finalised once I moved there and began attending, but aparantly not.
I couldn't afford to fly to Melbourne for only such a short event and I wasn't anywhere near organised enough to move there with just short notice so I found myself thinking that I would have to delay University for a year, a prospect that didn't appeal to me at all. So I told my friend of my troubles and in return he offered to assist me in going to Melbourne so I could complete enrollment. A relative of his died recently and he received $10000 inheritance, so now, he is making it his business to help out friends that he finds having worthy causes. Once I am in a financially stable situation I will pay the money back, but nonetheless returning the money feels like such a little act compared to how he has helped me. The only way I can see of doing justice to such an act is to use the principle of the movie Pay It Forward (damn Haley Joel Osment is a cutie and a good actor too!), perhaps I can repay his charity by finding kind deeds within my means that I can show towards other people. Comments? Suggestions? Flames? All are welcome to respond...
