"This past year i have finished my first year of college, and anyone who has been or had put their child through school they know it is very expensive. I dont have parents so when i applied for my financial aid i found out that it was going to pay for almost all of my tuition. After seeing how much i had left to pay for i got a loan that i wouldnt have to pay back until after i graduate and no intrest builds up on it but even after i got that i was still going to owe almost $1300 for that semster. I was really getting down because i just knew i was gonna have to drop out because i wasnt going to have any money to pay the rest of my tuition. SO i decided to go to my bank and apply for a loan there, i was very unsure if i was gonna get it because i have no credit yet because i was only 18. So all i knew that i could do was pray, and a couple of days later i got a phone call hoping that it was the bank but it wasnt it was my grandma, so she went on to ask my to tell her the exact amount of money that my tuition thati had left was going to be for the whole year. So i added it all up and i gace her a guestamation of about $2900 and so i began to ask her why do you want to know ar eyou getting a loan and she said no, and i asked well why did you want to know and so she began to tell me that ..... My Pastor called and said that someone had asked about me not being able to pay for school and knew i was going to have to leave if i couldnt get money to pay for it and he went on to tell her that they wanted to pay for the rest of my schooling, i was totally speechless, i just thought to my self i didnt realize that there were actually other people out there other than my sister and grandma that actually cared about me so much that they would pay the rest of my tuition. I was in such shock because i have only been going to Faith for just a few months. I am so very blessed and thankful for that family or person that decided to bless my life so very much!!! I still to this day have no idea who the person is that was so generous to do that for me. You and God know who you are and i just want to tell you that i cannot say thank you enough for the way you helped me and my family in our time of need and i know that God is going to bless your life so much. Also there was another person who bought me a laptop and i dont know who that is either but I just want to let you know that blessed my life so very much because if it wasnt for that person i wouldnt have gotten a computer for school.i just hope that i can one day bless some ones life as much as these people have blessed mine !! GOD BLESS !! "
