Remember the first day of school? When you had a brand new notebook that didn’t have little pieces of paper stuck in the spiral? Remember how that spiral was still actually in the notebook and not half unraveled? When you had pens that weren’t all chewed up, that still had ink and had caps on them? When you had pencils that weren’t little stubs with no eraser?
Maybe you needed a laptop for high school. Maybe you didn’t have to carry around a 5″ or 3.5″ floppy disc for each class. Maybe you used one USB drive for your whole year’s worth of homework.
Ah, the first day of high school, when all possibilities were open. When notebooks and USB drives were empty spaces waiting to be filled. Without them, you couldn’t pass your classes. Couldn’t remember all of the stuff you were supposed to. Couldn’t cram for that history test on the bus or at lunch.
So go to Staples, rummage through your desk drawer, raid the supply closet at your job, do whatever you can to grab a PACK of notebooks, pens, or pencils. Or grab that 1G USB drive you got at that conference 5 years ago, but that you now laugh at because your bluetooth headset has more memory. Bring it to TMoms on Thursday, April 2 for G2: Geeks Who Give Game Night to donate to the kids at Philadelphia Futures.
Because they need this stuff, too. They might even pass that history test, thanks to you.
