I was so excited when I heard that my niece won the notebook computer that I’d donated to the senior escape night at her school, but I didn’t tell her that I’d been the one who donated it until she called to tell me all about winning it. Each year after graduation the school has what is called a senior escape night, which has food, music and prizes for the graduating seniors. The younger classmen can attend, but they can’t win prizes and my niece has been waiting for this day to arrive. The prizes are donated by various businesses and individuals, and when I found a notebook computer online for a really great price, I thought why not order it and donate it to senior escape? As soon as I’d ordered the notebook computer, I called my sister to let her know what I’d done, but warned her not to mention it to Miranda on the off chance that she won. I didn’t want anyone to think that the contest had been rigged. I was so excited to be able to tell Miranda that the notebook computer that she’d won had ultimately come from me. She thought that it made the win even sweeter and I was happy to see it go to someone that I know could use it.
