Today I stopped by my mailbox before heading to my last class of 2007. I received a paper from a professor I had turned a few weeks ago then I heard screams of joy. A classmate said she got $400 she wasn’t expecting. I was happy for her because it’s money crunch time for students as our fall loan money is out and our next checks won’t come until late January. How are we gonna pay rent becomes a question. We walked to class and she is continuing to sing through the halls. We enter our classroom and another students says, “My husband got one too, they were from an anonymous donor for Capital alumni.” I was disappointed because I hadn’t got a check in my school mailbox. I went through class, did my presentation and said my goodbyes wondering how I had been forgotten. When I got back to our apartment I checked the mail and sure enough there was an envelope from Capital!
Alleluia! Every time we begin to run short we get a gift from a generous donor. Sometimes we get help from the church ladies in South Dakota and other times we are awarded a scholarship we’ve never even heard of. We have been given many blessings. Today, we thank Capital’s Anonymous Alumni. Blessings and Merry Christmas!
