B 难度:★★★
Earlier this month, 24-year-old college student Dart wrote out his very first check and handed it to his grandparents who raised him. He said the $15,000 would pay off their mortgage (抵押贷款) and pay for a trip to the Bahamas to help celebrate.
“I had to sacrifice a lot such as friendships, relationships, going around and partying,” Dart said, “But I gladly sacrificed going out with friends so I could either work and make money, or stay home to save it, to reach my goal of helping grandparents who took me in at a young age.”
?I promised God in the second grade I would pay off you guys mortgage and help you retire. A promise I would never break. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, or touched... but are felt by the heart,” Dart wrote in a Facebook caption (说明文字) of a photo that showed him holding a check and standing between his grandparents. “Even with this, I could never repay you for what you’ve done for me.”
Dart has worked various jobs to save money. In high school, he worked at a grocery store. He later put in hours at a call center, worked at Pizza Hut and earned licenses to sell life insurance. Dart says he currently works as a material handler for Exxon and does a part-time job as a loan officer. He also works on Caring Heart Youth, a nonprofit he helped create that provides supplies for poor children and teens.
