I saved up $300 as an 11 year old to get a telescope and instead donated it to a local kid with a brain tumor
Why did you decide to donate the telescope to the kid?
I thought about how much need the child was in compared to my dream
People think it is very respectable to donate to a charitable cause. It is helpful to deny your wants for someone else's needs.
I'm still getting to use the telescope even though I gave the money to charity.
I am glad it all worked out and everyone got what they wanted. You did a good deed donating that money to that unfortunate child.
