This week in Senior Literature and Composition we had to have a presentation about our memoirs ready to present. It was the second day of presenting. Two other people have presented and there is about 15 minutes of class left. This leaves just enough time for Ms. Menough to call on one more person. She does. "EEhhEhehEh" said "the deer in headlights" aka the scared child she called on. "Are you not ready?" said "the Audi r10 coming strait for the deer" aka Ms. Menough "Naww sorry." said the scared child She subtracts a couple points and picks on another child. I think to myself "oh please don't be me." She picks on another child that agrees to present, and as their preparing their powerpoint they decide they aren't ready to present as well. This is where I started to get anxious, I thought to myself "what are the odds she picks me next, slim to none right?" Wrong. "Uhhhhmm Jason" Ms. Menough announces "Alriiiiight" I announce with subtle distaste I go up and present and it goes pretty well. I feel I nailed all of the key points I wanted to. I wound up to get a high A as a grade and was happy.
Throughout the course of the week we saw several powerpoints presented. One of my favorite powerpoints had to be the one done on the book Fab Five. What makes this book so astounding is that you learn that there will never be a team like this again because of how much they impacted the game. Another Thing I found amusing about the Fab Five was that they were the first basketball team to use Hip-Hop music during their games. It was also interesting to find out that what ruined them as a team was what ruins most bands and teams that become popular, of course I'm talking about money. I hope to read this book in the near future because it sounds like quite a wonderful read.
