I should go to university on a scholarship because I came from a low-income family. However, a last-minute £100-a-year pay1for my Mom pushed my family over the threshold (门揽）for what was defined "low-income". I was suddenly no longer 2a scholarship of £15,000 a year.
I wouldn't receive any 3support from my family, as all the income went towards paying their own bills. It would be 4, but because I had some savings, I decided to go to university anyway. After paying my 5, I could only spend £10.20 a week on everything else including food and school supplies.
One day, I headed for a coffee shop to get a cup of coffee 6I shopped for my food. While paying, I 7a £20 note and a handful of change, and realized I could pay without breaking into the note, so I put it back into my pocket. It wasn't until I was at the supermarket that I realized the note was 8. As it was the equivalent of two weeks' expenses, I was 9.
As my last 10, I called the coffee shop to ask if they saw it, saying I knew it was 11, but I wanted to ask if it was 12by someone because money was tight for me. The cashier said. We were lucky to have found 13!" She handed me a shiny new note. But mine was 14with repeated fold marks. I told her, "This isn't mine; my note was an old worn one." She continued, "We have given yours to somebody else for change. Just take this one."
At her 15I left with the money. It wasn't until later that I realized they were 16trying to help out a student who was 17with the coffee shop's own money. Now I've graduated and 18a good job. The cost of coffee no longer 19me. I go to the coffee shop regularly—I'm definitely a 20for life.
