Well, I decided a few days ago that I would, for my English final, present what I learned about the importance of choosing a topic that you like to write about. I was really excited about writing it and frantically threw together an outline so that I wouldn't forget any of my thoughts.
As I sat in class the next day, I listened to the first two presentations contently, but the third really caught my attention -- it was on the same topic that I had chosen! I watched my entire presentation begin to fall apart the more that the presentation continued. I didn't want to change my topic of presentation because I knew I was very passionate about it, but I couldn't present it the same way I wanted to. It was too similar to the presentation that was being given.
Now, I don't know how I will present my topic. I would like to ask two of my roommates to write something for me. I may ask my roommate Lauren to write about a day of skiing because I know she loves to ski. Then, I would like to ask one of my roommates who has never skied before to write about a day of skiing. Maybe if they don't care about skiing, they won't be able to write a lot on it. Does that have too much to do with experience verses opinion? I may try to do that to see how it goes, and hopefully I'll be able to come up with an interesting way to present my topic!
