This kind of thing makes me smile. I wish Bill Gates, Oprah, George Lucas, Warren Buffet or someone like that would hire me to help distribute their excess funds to the needy, various charities, etc.

Love it. Really like Elen. Great comic and caring about others. Watched the whole video BTW.

Nice!
I bet she is one of those teachers that makes a difference in a lot of kids lives.

That teacher, and the ones they talked about who spend their own money for school supplies are awesome.

Having said that, call me a cynic. Ellen said Target has "spent" a billion dollars on education, but Target apparently spends this money by buying gift cards from itself. I wonder, after that school got $150k donated to it by the teacher, why did Target give these kids even more stuff? Aren't there other schools out there who have gotten nothing that could use a little love?

Thanks for posting the video.

I watched the whole thing. Inspiring. I'd love to have the opportunity to be in the same
position.

I have been detailing Porsches since the early '90s and had the opportunity to detail a black '95 993 Tip Coupe for a client in 1997. The car was previously owned by Ellen.

Yes, true story.

Interesting to see how many talented entrepreneurs own Porsche cars.

Cooper.

I enjoyed watching the video. I think its great to help that school system as Ellen did. I wish there would be more ways to help each and every school around the country in the same manner. As far as if I won $150k - Unfortunately $150k doesn't go that far anymore. I would secure my daughters future for college, then donate the rest.

$150k after taxes would be barely $100k.

I'd pay off a lot of bills and use it to fund my upcoming move. Anything left over would get donated or put into kids' education funds.

It's people like this teacher that make our country great and kudos to Ellen for showcasing her and others. Shows like this have to inspire others to make a difference in other people's lives and not just slog through their own.

Very cool....thanks for sharing.

I made it to 44 seconds before I hit pause and didn't go back. Sorry.

From the other responses from people who have made it all the way through, she seems like she might be a nice person, but I just couldn't watch her much beyond those 44 seconds. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/support/smileys/chix.gif

Still not interested in the video.

If I won $150,000, I would probably give it away. Must be my ingrained American Entitlement Mentality.
