Yesterday was quite a day. My girlfriend had mentioned that she wanted to go to the Toronto game in Detroit because we have never seen them play at Joe Louis. I wanted to surprise her so I waited until yesterday to find cheaper tickets that couldn't be sold. I looked on kijiji.com and found someone selling then for $75 a piece. I offered the lady $100 for the pair because money is a little tight and she informed me she would get back to me. I let her know that if she decided to sell them to us I wouldn't be able to pick them up between 4-5 because I tutor during that time. Turns out the lady was a retired teacher and she said that she would sell us the tickets in the end. When I got to her door she told me that she changed the price of the tickets to FREE and to go and have fun with my girlfriend. She went on to say she knows what it's like to be a beginning teacher and how hard it is. Refusing to take my money, just told me to pay it forward.
Amazing to see there are such generous people out there and I will definitely find a way to pay it forward.
