Paper Idea

The end of senior year raged forward like a wildfire with miles of trees racked with drought ahead.  As the year began to dwindle so did the threads that held my infamous Ursuline skirt together.  This was no good since the hem police patrolled the halls daily hoping to catch a disheveled school girl.  The last days in sight I thought I had duped the police once and for all, only to find out that I was headed for a run in with the chief of hem police: our disciplinarian.  She caught me early one morning strolling into homeroom with a wild looking hem job, which led later to an unsightly screaming match where the true story of a moment in my rhetorical history begins.

Three Ideas for First Paper

1. The story of when I was six & staged a boycott of the diving board lesson that day because the water was too cold & no one should be forced to get in under these awful conditions.
2. The story of when I convinced my school attendance policing parents to let me skip an all school speaker day.
3. The story of when I convinced my psychology teacher to give back 10 points on a major test that the whole class bombed.
