It's funny, but I remember seeing something on the news that was talking about the Titanic sinking, and that it all happened because of a tiny mistake in the building of it. Something like that happened to me; my project failed, due to a tiny mistake in the beginning-due to my overconfidence in the site called Wikipedia. The project was on the literature, and folklore of Morocco; so I went on to Wikipedia (like I had always done for these type of projects) and read an article about 'literature of Morocco' and opened up a word document so I could type down stuff that was important in MY OWN WORDS (very important), and emailed it to my teacher since I don't have a printer. He printed it out and everything so far was looking good, until the presentation. My partners, who did the same thing but different countries started out first. Then I did my part. I was talking about famous authors, and styles of righting they had. I also told the class about the stories that kids were told by their parents, and stuff like that. Unfortunately, my confidence got me lower in the end when my teacher raised his hand. He told me about my mistakes, and wanted me to show him the sight that I got it from. Though I didn't fail, I didn't make a 100%, and I learned one thing; Don't use wikipedia for school. Also, I found out that random visitors can change the sights! I tried it, but I came back a day later and it was gone. This was an unusually long post, but it just makes you stay on this page longer! See ya'
