Individuals Paying It Forward

My name is Eric Gilbert. The first time i watched this movie it really made me think. What can i do? Can i do anything at all? I thought to my self well there have been people out there that has pay it forward to me already. A little history about my self i'm only 20 years old and i am a achoolic as wells as an drug addict. There has been people out there that has helped me has not excepted a thing return. Just hoping that i can recover from this. I feel like it is my turn to pay it forwad. About two weeks ago i was at some meeting that i had for work. I had some old freinds in this town. I thought i would just stop by and say hi. My freind has a little three year old daughter that is just so adorabl. Soon as i walk in the door she still remembers. Well come to find out my freind had recenently been laid off of his job. Where he was employed had closed there doors. I felt really bad for him and his family. He was just telling me he did not know what to do the money was running out and he did not get his pay check from his knew job for a few weeks. He told me he really did not want to ask his parents for money. Which i understood completly. Not once did he ask me for a dime, but i thought to my self here's my chance to pay it forward. I had been saving money up to buy a house. I thought to my self well you saved this much up why can't you do this again. So i gave him all my money out of my savings. He told me he would pay me back as soon as possible. I told him to just pay it forward. He knew what i ment and broke down and cryed. He told me he never really thought this movie could inspire some one like me to do this. I told him any body can do what they want if they put there mind to it. I hope some day down the road i can pay it forward to somebody else. As it has been payed forward to me.
