Last Outlet Response

After recently agreeing to do a final project for 700 points, it was quite clear that Mrs. Stoklosa thought the students weren't taking it seriously. All they had to do was do a Wiki & power point based on whatever topic we want. With only a few weeks left of school, this is our last chance to prove how creative we are. 700 points can ultimately change our grade point average, like earning a $700 dollar bonus for best work. 
Especially for students who haven't done well in class, this can ultimately alter the very fabric of what makes you a student. Succeeding in such a project can ultimately prove you learned something in this class. That's why I have been hard at work preparing a wiki based on a community theater group. Ever since being involved with the group, I have gotten to learn of their theatrical history, made good friends with the cast, and especially paved the way for a future stardom in the theatrics. It's not like any subject, but merely the idea that defines who I am as a person. It doesn't matter what satisfies you, as long as whatever you choose represents who you are. 
With only a few weeks left, this is the last chance to do something extraordinary. Just put your heart & soul into your masterpiece, picture the work in your mind, & then just put it all together like a crossword puzzle. As long as you have the idea in your head, nothing can stop you from doing the impossible. As Michael J. Fox once said, "If you set your mind to something you can accomplish anything." Just do the best that you can & do whatever it takes to make the best project {except cheating or stealing ideas!} Until then, break a leg!
