My Moral Dilemma
The other day, I got a letter in the mail thanking me for the money I raised this year for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light the Night Walk. Volunteers who raised a certain amount are eligible for thank you gifts and you have to go on their website by a certain date and choose.
I went on and one of the gifts is an iPod. Oh my gosh! But here is my dilemma. I can accept the gift or I can donate it back to the society. On one hand, I feel like I should donate it back. On the other, I'll never be able to afford an iPod on my own....
So, what should I do? Cast your votes...

Yikes! Tough one. If you can't afford one on your own or get one for a gift, I think it's ok to keep it. It could be like a present to yourself...
You worked hard! Receive the blessing! Enjoy it and use it well!!!
I know you want to donate it back, but in this case I'd say it's totally fine to keep it. You did kind of "earn" it by raising that money and you certainly helped the Society out. Keep the iPod and use it in good health.
Take it girl........you deserve it :)
I'm with everyone else. Take the iPod. You worked hard and obviously raised a lot of money. Merry Christmas.
You deserve it. Take it and enjoy. You know you'll do more service soon.
