BAKE SALE MIRACLE

By Sofia Arlotta

I had a good feeling about this bake sale, and not just because we had vegan, gluten-free and glutenous brownies. This bake sale just felt a bit different.

Turns out I was right, because after making that donation I got a call from an unknown number. I picked up the phone to discover it was none other than the head of AIDS calling me to say the donation of $173 I had made earlier that day had single handedly solved the AIDS crisis.

The feeling I got to hear the news was of a euphoria, similar to that gained after a hula hoop (10-minute version) on Wii Fit. I couldn’t have done it without my team. We hustled hard and it paid off. In all honesty, it didn’t really come as a total shock to me because although goods were advertised as a gold coin donation the amount of people buying at $2 was unmatched. Today I literally revolutionised white blood cell counts - that is definitely going on my LinkedIn.
