I love reading all of these stories...here is one of mine!
I am a teacher and for my first few years, I taught in one of the poorest towns in Georgia.
This particular year, I had 100% minorities in my class. I was the field trip coordinator and we had been going to Atlanta for soooo many years so, I wanted to change it up and take them to Epcot. Most of the older ladies DID NOT want to take 150 5th graders to WDW! I had to BEG and PLEAD (and since I was coordinator...I would be more than will to pass off the job to someone else...NO ONE wanted it)...so, I won the battle! I GOT TO PLAN THE ENTIRE TRIP MYSELF!!!! I loved every minute of it, too! Unfortunately, most of my own class could not afford to go I just did not know what I was going to do! The others said "Just leave them with a sub". My grandfather stepped up to the plate and paid for my entire class to go! Can you believe that? It STILL brings tears to my eyes! THEN...right before the trip...he sent each one of my kids $10! I can honestly say, it was the best WDW trip of my life. These kids had never been out of the county MUCH LESS to the most magical place on earth! When we pulled up...the entire bus was SILENT! And best of all, they were soooo appreciative!
I know how the CM's feel when they grant those Magical Moments!
