Day 299: Guest Speaker

Our school had a guest speaker come in this morning for the grade 11 and 12s. I didn't catch this man's name, but I heard he was on Oprah once and that he talks to over 200,000 kids every year. His topic? Drugs and alcohol. Believe me, this man is a pretty powerful speaker. In the middle of his talk, everyone was just plain quiet. At first many laughed, smiled and joked around. Then near the end we all had a serious attitude and many of us finally shook off the smiles and jokes to get real on this topic. It was a presentation unlike any other we've had at our school. I'm glad I was there to hear it.

On another note, I found my math workbook! :D I thought I had lost it! OH GOSH. That thought is a little terrifying. My friend found it in the art room AND I REALLY BELIEVED that it wasn't there. It was the last place I'd look for actually. lol
