Universtiy Can Wait

--by RiaLovesYou, posted Nov 25, 2013

I was on my way to the library to do some studying for history class. That's when I saw my friends and their family knocking on doors.

As I was standing outside one house my friend's brother walked past me and went to the door of the house. When the resident answered I heard him say, "Excuse me. Hi! I am raising money for my mom. She needs to have surgery but we don't have enough money. Could you please help with a donation?"

The lady gave him some coins and he said, "Thank you so much! God bless you." Then he walked on to the next house.

I could see he didn't have much and I also saw he had been crying.

Instead of going to the library I went to the bank. I told them I wanted to withdraw all my savings. The lady in the bank said to me, "But, sweetie, I thought you were going to use that money to get into university."

I told her something else came up so she gave me the money. Then I walked to my friends' house. They had only raised nine hundred and sixty two dollars, which wasn't even a quarter of what they needed. I told my friend to take my money. When she saw it she realised straight away it was my university money.

The idea of going to university had been a very exciting one for me - assuming I got accepted - but she needed the money more than I did. Now her mom will be going into surgery in the next two days.

I hope all goes well for her and her family. My love and prayers go out to them.
