So a little over three months ago, I came across the e-cigarette-forum on a whim. Since then I have not had one analogue.
Recently I've been having some monetary issues which comes with being a student, and I've had too much pride to admit to that fact. My family has never really had much money because my dad has been disabled since I was a little boy and my mother essentially disowned me because of a dispute with my brother. My dad and I have always pushed along and very few times have we had to beg for money to keep the house, pay the electric bill or get the car payment in on time. Because of this, I never really developed a way to reach out and specifically ask for help. I know that I've had it easier than some people, but I honestly believe that the hardships my dad and I went through have made me a better person. However, I'll get to the point of this post.
Right now I am fighting back tears because of the generosity of the members of this forum. I just received my Secret Santa package. I was slightly confused because of the size of the package. It was so much larger than I had even imagined it would be. I had decided that I was doing Secret Santa to spread some good cheer during the holidays, but wasn't too expectant of getting anything in return. I opened the package and there were about 10 small boxes filled with cartridges and cartos, a bag of liquids, and a carrying case with an ego passthru, an ego mega battery, an ego cone, a car charger and a wall charger.
After sitting there in disbelief, I felt a sense of relief wash over me because until I got that package, I hadn't realized how desperate I was getting for hardware like this. My batteries were beginning to lose their charge slowly, my ego cone was chipping, and I literally opened my last carto today right before the package came.
You guys have no idea how much you mean to me.
Thank you all for helping me stay sane through college.
This is the ultimate reminder of what I hope to teach my students one day in the classroom- the kindness that can be shared between complete strangers. Thanks to my SS and to all of the members of PIF for reminding me of that fact.
