We, as a group, are presenting to the city council on the 1st of August with our findings. I personally don't feel at all ready, but maybe that's just the nerves talking. We're beginning to write our speech today; I've been assigned the introduction and conclusion. It's the shortest part, but I also feel like it's a really important part. The introduction can either make it or break it, and the conclusion needs to leave the city council with one last thought that will keep them thinking. Along with writing the part, I have to speak it. So I really have to make it something that makes me look like I know what I'm talking about. (Even if I don't)
I feel like I'm a stronger writer than I am a gardener, so atleast that's over I guess. But I have to be honest, city council members aren't my favorite people. Wish me luck.
