Just a good feeling

Good for you Eric. Always nice to think your good deed contributes to a positive result.

I am very happy for you and him. How wonderful.

Funny how every small pebble thrown into the pond affects the whole pond.

Some small act of kindness we do, some good deed changes everything downstream.

And some of the smallest seemingly insignificant things we do can end up changing the world, or at least some lives.

Good on you.

Good feeling? Heck, I'd be walking about a foot above grade for a week!

Good on ya!

Good story! Nice to hear the good ones now and again.

Actually, good on the kid for doing what it takes to get accepted to MIT. Thanks anyway though. ERS

Don't forget the Mom that took the time to seek you out and help the kid do the project. Probably deserves the most credit.

And good on the mom, who's going to see her way clear to front $40K per year for her son's education. That's the going rate, tuition, fees, room, and board. But it's money well spent I would say.

And you deserve the collective 'thank you' for helping to catalyze the reaction!

That is really cool!

I did something like that in the late 70's - Young man won the National Science fair - and got a full at MIT. He is a doctor now.

That is really satisfying. I have had 4 neighborhood kids working in my shop off and on since they were Cub Scouts building derby cars. Spent 12 years encouraging them to become engineers or scientists. Now they are grown up. One is a banker. one is pre med and the other two are in law school. At least maybe I instilled a little mechanical aptitude. :-)

Aw well,one out of four ain't too bad!

That too, and his mother, but you helped set him on the path.

So....Kudos anyhow! :)

Oh yeah. The kid had to try, but his parents were obviously doing the right thing too. ERS

As it turns out students are steered away from Engineering due to the computer/network melt down - and so many uncertain jobs. I counseled a number at an academy and got Doctor and civil engineer and maybe - still working - scientist.

One never knows. Martin
