The tale of an amazing, cycle of, kindness, that started with the, school instructor, which the student received, and now, as the student became able-bodied, she'd, given to those younger generations of children who are growing up in poverty, to help them get a, proper education, so they won't keep on, living in that vicious cycle of being raised in, poverty…translated…
My friend, M is an educator for years, not only does she work hard in instructing her students, she'd also, put everything she had into interacting with them, after the students graduated, to starting in life, families, they'd, returned back to school to visit with her often.
Awhile ago, a student, S who works for an international trade company, S, asked M out for lunch. S told her, that he'd returned from his travels, and had bought something to give to her, told her, that she can only open the present as she'd, arrived, home.
As M got home, she'd, unwrapped the present, it was a box of 100-percent chocolate, she'd thought, that her student was, thoughtful, knowing how she'd, loved the chocolates pure. But, as she'd picked up the chocolates, she'd discovered in her surprise, that there were two huge stacks of, thousand dollar bills, she'd counted them, a total of $200,000N.T. in cash!
"Why did he give me money?", M was surprised, thankfully, there was, a card, attached, the contents of what's written in the card was how S was grateful for her instructor for turning her life around, she was from a lesser background, and only wanted to have the bare minimal to live off of, she'd never considered her own, futures. In her middle school years, her homeroom instructor was M, and M had, found that English was S's strong suit, so she'd, bought her the study guides; applied for her student to get the free meals at school, found the extra support of money for her afterschool study programs; and used the various "excuses", to give her the allowances for spending, said it was her wages for part-timing work. And, moreover, she'd cared for her after she'd graduated from middle school, and gave her the assistance, help she'd needed, on everything in her, life, that everything she had, everything she's, become, graduated from the grad school programs, finding a steady job, and now, she's, taking care of her own families' living, needs, she'd owed it all to, her school instructor. That the cash amount, paled by comparison to what she'd, received from her, instructor, that she must, accept her gift, with the P.S., "my parents gave me life, but my teacher loved me."
M's eyes got misty after she'd read the card, she'd immediately contacted S, stated that she'd understood her heart, but, she couldn't, accept the, cash. S stated to M, if she'd sent the cash back to her, she will, get, mad!

After thinking on it closely, M went to visit the man in charge of her local borough, and discussed the matter with him, asked if there are children who are in need of, financial support in the, neighborhood, and gave out two laptops to the community college students who are, studying hard, but without the means to purchase the needed laptop that can help them have the needed equipment for school; and the remaining amount, was set up as a fund for the middle school student who was raised in poverty, with only his grandmother at home, to help him get through his, education.
M told the young man whom he'd given the money to to write a letter to her student, S, as the cares and concerns from an unknown stranger is, especially, precious, S is also, glad to see her instructor, M's, arrangements, working out. As M shared the tale with me that afternoon, I'd felt warmed on the, inside, a student who knew to show gratitude for her instructor's helping her, a loving school teacher, this world is, with more good will and, is now, more beautiful than, before.
An amazing tale, of how the lives are, changed, with this school instructor's, simple care and concern toward her student, and now, the student is, giving back, just as she'd been shown the love, the care and the, concerns from her, school teacher, this is how the cycle of kindness will, continue.
