This was an amazing blessing, both Evan and Miranda did for all of the graduates. Your generosity was a testimony to who you are as a couple. Thank you for giving my grandson a fresh start right out of college. You made many of us cry on graduation day. Blessings to you both as Miranda said to the graduates.
This made me cry what a priceless gift!! Just Wonderful what generosity Miranda and her husband looked just as happy giving it ♥️
This is a gift not only to the students but to society overall. Students who might have taken work if only to help repay their debt may now be more selective, may now focus on developing their art/craft/vision...which, without a doubt, will help us to have a richer and more colorful society.
lovely point
What an amazing gift. Brought me to happy tears. This is an example of true inspirational leadership.
What a wonderful act for you two to give these graduates. I'm grateful you inhabit this earth for these young graduates! THANK YOU FOR sharing the good!
What a powerful moment. Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg...take note...this is how you invest and actually improve society
Amazing!! What a gift to the future of these students!!
This made me 🥲🥹🥰 such an incredibly generous gift
I got chills. I wish i could do the same. Imagine what it feels like to lift such a burden from so many people. Awesome rewarding feeling
As a first-generation student, I didn't have the best information to know what I was getting into. I worked full-time and went to school full-time to still make way. I didn't have the luxury to have my parents to pay my way. So just to see a set of students getting that opportunity to start fresh in their careers l without that debt looming is refreshing. A little jealous...lol but glad to see it come through for someone. I hope they take full advantage of this opportunity, work hard, and reach their highest potential. You don't always get an opportunity like this. And it's good to see someone who reach that level of success and give back to the community in such way.
This is real evangelism, where the change is to REAL people with consequences one can see :)
I’d be so happy if I was one of the students..
wow what a lackluster reception, the two guys in bottom right did not even know how to react or what's happening. While Its a nice to have this blessing, hope this group understands really what a huge thing this is.
To be fair, that was a terrible delivery by the speaker.
All he had to say was 'Your student loans have been paid off. You are all now debt-free!' and everyone would have erupted. I saw the title of the article, read the article so I definitely knew what to expect and even then,was still waiting for the speaker to follow up and say anything about their debt/loans being paid-off.
"Their gift will enable you to re-pay your student loans"...of course, not everyone is going to understand what that means exactly. It's very vague. If I would have been sitting there I would have asked "Will we be 'enabled' to pay it off once we work for them? What's the catch?" It has to be repeated and in many different ways for everyone to fully understand the magnitude of the moment.
I thought that too but honestly the announcement was poorly worded & delivered. I can imagine some didn’t want to get their hopes up lest they misunderstood.
That was the most Boring way of speech delivery but it was Awesome!
People r so miserable, they’ll do and say anything just to take away from an amazing moment. Go play in traffic
Don't forget to pay your taxes on that income!
if you pay off someone's debt without them first having to live with it, to actually see how it holds them back and how it changes their decisions, then they will never really appreciate it. it's a bad lesson, and even worse, OTIS is already overpriced. it just gives them more clout to be able to jack up prices.
Most students with loans will understand scarcity. Their loans are going to books and tuition. Lots will still have jobs. Others will be spending frugally and barely getting by.
Doesn’t sound like you had the same issue but I assure you for most that can barely afford to go, they’re not living the high life through their four years of an undergrad
This is horrible. It's not fair to the prior and future graduates who will have to take on that debt without the help of some billionaire's generosity. Bad move.
Would you rather *illionaires not donate at all? And don't say to donate to another charity or program because that is literally the same thing. Someone will always be unhappy with another person's choices that positively affect more people than they ever could.
You cannot change everyone. You must start with someone.
Listen they got lucky, in the actual sense of the word. The previous and the next graduates aren't as lucky. But it's not like it's a negative for them.
I've been in a similar situation, you see when I went into the Navy in my country, my cohort didn't get an overseas assignment but the previous one did, they went to NYC and the one after our "class" left got as well, they went to the Azures. Was I spiteful that I came at the wrong time? Of course not, I was happy to be there, and glad that the previous and the following batch had an amazing time in some foreign assignments, even if we never got the chance. We sailed in the Baltic sea and that was incredible experience, doing all kinds of once-in-a-life-things like shooting down drones with a anti-air turret, laying sea-mines, deploying and exploding anti-submarine bombs, being in a naval military exercise with dozens of warships, watching above and seeing helicopter and fighter jets, watching anywhere and seeing our ships..Why would i complain that I didn't get the trip over that Atlantic to NYC like the previous guys?
These graduates will be very lucky and happy. This is not going to harm anyone, it's not unfair, it's just unlucky. If you actually said this was unfair, you could use that argument for ANY situation. Why help anyone for any reason if you won't help everyone as well? It's not fair that millions of people have to live in abject poverty while others get to live in luxury, but it's what the world is. This doesn't mean we shouldn't help people even if we can only help some people.
Horrible?
Lol true, but when is life ever fair? Can't we just be happy for this group of adults without nitpicking?
