| | I haven't updated forever, but something rather random happened today that has put me in such a good mood. So, I am sitting here on a Sunday at school working on homework in the Library. No one is around and I can at least have access to internet. This Korean guy walks by and comes up to me and asks a request. He sits down and tells me he is from Boston and was in the Philly on business ( I think). He is a graduate of PBU. While here in Philly, somehow he lost his wallet...including, liscense, cash, cards, etc. He had to head back to boston today for work tomorrow and since he only had 1/2 tank of gas and no money or wallet, he seemed helpless, so he thought he's drive to PBU (his alma mater) in search of someone who would be willing to give him a helping hand to get back to Boston (in giving him money). I find it rather humorous that he asked me...actually surprised he had the nerve to ask a girl for cash back to boston, but i guess he was willing to overlook his manly pride because he was helpless. So, today I met Jabez. I gave him $60 and I feel SO good to have helped out a brother in Christ. We had a good chat just about work, PBU, etc. He ensured I'd get repaid (plus interest!). I actually don't care if I get the money back because I would have wanted help myself if the same thing happenend to me. It's nice to know there's someone I can now look up in Boston in case I'm up for a good meal. HE said he'd treat and he seems like he's pretty well along in the business world. It's nice to think Jabez thought of PBU in his dire needs...good connections. He had a feeling and confidence that someone would help him out. Good thing I just happened to be swamped in homework and was here--no one else is around!
Anyhow...that's my random story for the day. Cheerio! |
