Reflection on Myth Presentation

Well, obviously, I didn't really like my topic, because it was a story I've NEVER heard of, much less than reading it.

But um, I was a bit freaked out when I read that the Green Knight carried around his head like a lantern after Sir Gawain chopped his head off.

Interesting.

Personally, I thought we presented quite well. I mean, everything went quite well even though we forgot EVERYTHING from the story because it was such a long time ago.

And the best presentation I saw...would probably be Jessie and Cici's. By a very small margin...honestly, I think we all did relatively well.

Alan and Darren's group had a nice amount of information. Lindsey and Ophelia's group explained the story well. And Jeremy and Wayne's group had memorized the story well.

Good job, my people.

Life can be nice when both people contribute equally to the presentation.

What is a Winner?

I define a winner as a person who earned himself/herself a medal, trophy, award, honor, etc.

BUT he/she has to earn it by his/her own efforts, instead of using shortcuts or cheating.

A winner is a person who earned a privilege, but he/she truly deserves it. For someone to truly deserve the award they get, they have to have actually put in the effort and time to win it.

Say that a guy named....Bill is partners with another guy named Bob. If Bill had put in all his effort to prepare their science fair project, but Bob hasn't moved a muscle to try to help, even if they DO win, Bill would be the only one who is truly a winner, because he was the one who tried and actually made the project, so technically, the award is given to HIS project, not theirs. And also, he is the one who's actually learning in the process. So he is truly considered a winner.

So. What was the lesson today?

Bill is superior to Bob.
