I Might Pay For You To Come To My School!
Joseph:
So, I started a summer job recently, at an office building in downtown Vancouver. Today, the ladies in the HR department, where I'm working, all chipping in for a couple lottery tickets. Since I'm the new guy around the office, they asked me if I'd like to join them. I've never bought a lotto ticket before, and it felt like something I should do at least once, if only as a sort of office comradery. Now, I'm usually pretty lucky, so I figure I'll probably win this. And I was thinking, I really don't know what I would do with upwards of 4.3 million dollars.
Emilio has been saying for some time now that he'll only be able to come to McGill, where I'm studying, if he wins the lottery. I realized, if I won the lottery, I could help him out! Now, just sending one person to school really wouldn't put much of a dent in my millions. So, I thought, why not send five people to McGill?
Emilio has taken the first space. The next four people to express interest and give a compelling reason why I should give the money to them will also have their education paid for out of my pocket, after I collect my winnings. I promise I will follow through, barring the unlikely circumstance that I do not end up winning.
If you have any questions, or would like any clarification, please post in this thread.
The money will not be given if you choose to enroll at any school other than McGill. You must also begin attending McGill before I graduate. If you do not have good enough grades to be accepted at McGill, I will set aside twenty thousand dollars to try to bribe McGill officials.

Why? Compelling reasons.

Hey, my brother goes to McGill, he says it's pretty awesome, and that Montreal is a great city.
So guys! Jump on this guy's luck!

You should send me to McGill.
1) If you sent me to McGill, I wouldn't have to work during the school year and I would have time to make you delicious baked goods and knit you socks in gratitude. Sure, you could buy baked goods and socks, but they wouldn't be made with the same kind of gratitude. That makes them extra special.
2) I've checked out the awards page, and I may be eligible to be considered for a scholarship for 2009-2010. Thus you would have less to pay for my tuition (not to mention the fact that it's already much cheaper than it would be if I weren't a Canadian citizen) and you'd be able to offer more to the other candidates, or possibly even take on a sixth candidate. Or donate the money you saved to starving children in Africa. Or keep it. Whatever.
3) Life with me around is always exciting. I do things like light ovens on fire while baking cakes, prepare Thanksgiving dinner for my friends oh and look cute next to you at parties. Clearly these things are all beneficial to your McGill career.
Except maybe the lighting ovens on fire thing.
I sincerely hope that the fact that I already attend McGill doesn't disqualify me.
