"Oh man! I had totally forgotten about my maths project!" I bemoaned. It was the deadline day, and I would literally be murdered by my maths teacher, otherwise known as Extremely Excruciating Evil Ernie(just a joke by our class). Her period was just right after recess and my group had only just completed 3/4 of our project. This project was counted for fifty percent of our CA1 marks. During the period before recess, English, my group members and I started racking for solutions. Finally after a round of discussion, we decided to go to the library to salvage the project. At least some hope is better than no hope.
When recess bell rang, all of us ran to the library and quickly started mission: Salvation of maths project. Oliver, who was the quickest typer assume the role of the typer of course. I was in charge of compiling all of the information and the rest searched for additional information. We worked at light speed and completed the project in a nick of time, though it was a rough job.
Next we printed out the project and ran back to class. When the Mdm Ernie came in, we handed the project in to her. We were lucky we handed it up, as those groups who did not do so was eaten by her alive. Her bark is worse than her bite.
Through this experience, I learn that when we are faced with a problem, we should not escaped it but we should faced it. We should take the bull by its horn. As Henry Ford once said"Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them."
