answering the question "Why does the caged bird sing?"

so annoying and pointless...actually not pointless because I am working on writting, just annoying

How long does the essay have to be ?

I don't like writing essays, myself. I guess it's because the teachers want me to actually goes through the steps of writing them correctly, but I would rather just write a paragraph on a topic and be done with it. :cool:

I usually got A's and B's on my essays, too. I just didn't want to read them in front of the class with everybody staring at me. :eek2:

yah I know the feeling, I am the loudest person but I HATE public speaking...I am so bad at it...its weird...but we had to share a piece of our best writing on the last day of class and wow I like couldnt read hah

One of my friends had to take a class on public speaking and she said it was the roughest time for her at first, but she became used to it as time went on, and now loves speaking in front of a lot of people.

yah we have it as an elective choice, I dont know if I signed up for it or not, I believe I did, but I want to take it senior then

This is off topic for a second, but...
