Free flight ticket

Keningau, SabahA teacher who wishes the best for his students
Since I began teaching in this rural area, I organized field trips for my students once a year in order to let them see the world outside their small town. Since it got bigger last time, I wish to plan an even bigger trip this year.
I plan this field trip for my students to the other district, which normally can be reached via bus ride, but would take a very long time. So the alternative is to reach there via flight. What I did was write to the biggest flight company in the country and ask for their kindness to sponsor the flight tickets.
This idea is actually inspired after watching Oprah and after I talked about it with my colleagues, and I truly believe that with the power of giving, I would receive even more to give it away.
At first, I’d written to two of the people inside, but the outcomes were disappointing. The first person never replied and the second person simply skimmed through my email and gave a fare price which was still very high for us.
No time to feel discouraged, I forwarded my email to the last person in my list. The answer came this morning and I got the thumbs up for the free ticket. Well, not entirely free because I still need to pay RM 18 per person for the fuel surcharge and admin fee, but yes, it is indeed free of all other charges.
Now, I only have to tell the students that they got the free tickets and ask them to pack up their things and get going.
Thank you Oprah for inspiring Kelvin.
Thank you Kelvin for believing in the divine power.
Thank you Rhonda for introducing it to Kelvin.
Thank you for the divine power to make it happen.
Now, I can see a whole new light in The Secret power that I have and I still do read The Secret every once in a while when I need encouragement.
