A janitor at Bristol University has his wish come true / myLot

University of Bristol in the United Kingdom

I am sure that Bristol University janitor Gordon Herman who is admired by the students due to his kindness and cheery attitude, never expected to receive $2.063 dollars to have his dream of traveling back to his native Jamaica to see his loved ones again. Gordon who has worked as a janitor at the school was rewarded by the students who love him for seeing the goodness in life when the chips are down. When Gordon received the envelope that had the money to go on vacation this summer to see his relatives, he broke down and cried tears of joy. Who says "Nice guys finish last" in life?

@mlgen1037 What made me happy was that the custodian was rewarded with his wish to visit his homeland once again.

I am amazed the students were so kind to add money to be $2,063 so he can visit his native Jamaica to see his relatives. No wonder the tears of joy. It will be so wonderful for him to reach his life long dream. Well done to the students at Bristol University. I hope we has a wonderful trip.
