When I signed up in September for my culture presentation,
I put my name under February without any hesitation.
I felt that this was far away and the time seemed so right,
I thought it would be a time where my school work was somewhat light.
I found myself in the wrong and struggling once more,
To find the time to gather my facts for a virtual Italian tour.
I wanted to impress not only my classmates but of course Mrs. Collentine, too,
To prove public speaking is something I can successfully do.
So the day finally came and my powerpoint was complete,
I was ready to take on the challenge of presenting, I would not accept defeat.
I described Italy the best I could with happiness and pride,
Even discussing my grandparents' love I tried not to get teary-eyed.
It felt so good to learn more about my country and roots,
I'll just have to wait and hope that my powerpoint didn't get the boot!
