Adaobi seeks advice on what to do

Describing the gesture as beautiful, Adaobi sought advice from netizens on the next action to take.

She considered returning the money with an addon but did not want a situation where other students would like to replicate it to take advantage of her response.

"It's such a beautiful gesture... but I'm thinking to return the money (with a little extra ofcourse). She's not a 'rich kid' and this might have been her transport money or something.
"But I'm wondering... wouldn't it hurt her feelings if I return it?
"Also, wouldn't adding extra make other students think this might be a potential money doubling scheme for them to cash out from?
"What to do?" she wrote.

"Keep the money but don't spend it. It's now a memorabilia with high sentimental value and no longer an economic instrument."

@Jes_see_kah said:

"You know it's okay to accept it and keep it, it's a well thought gift. You can decide to gift her much much later in the term when she might have even forgotten that way she'll always know that her small gesture was always remembered."

@obi_fedrick said:

"Keep the cash then give her sometimes like a month or 2 then buy her a gift,
"U are a teacher u will know the little thing she lack in school, E.g books, shoes, mathset etc."

@leo_documentary said:

"Receive the gift.. reach out to her and let her know you appreciate the gesture and it was nice of her (the thought).
"Then later in the term when she must have forgotten, get her your own gift.
