Mr. Levitan's Visit

Two days ago, Mr. Levitan and his companion Mr. Paul, came to our school to tell us more about the end-of-the-year presentation regarding our projects. They told us to be prepared by studying and practicing with our mentors before our presentations, gather as much data as we can, and to catch up on our blogs/journals as soon as possible. They told us to start figuring out what we are going to say during our presentations because we have to fill at least a 45 minute spot. The only problem is is that I'm afraid I won't be able to get as much stuff to take up 45 minutes. I could probably only take up at least 25 minutes to a half an hour just by saying everything I went through during this time. But now that I think about it, I could probably fill up that hour by focusing on my journey to get where I am. They said that we could focus on two main categories, so if I focus on my journey and my progress with becoming a better writer, I could probably take up the whole hour and have to need more time. I could take pictures and show them to everyone, tell them of my failure of as a fiction writer at the moment but then tell them how I was enlightened with the discovery of the joys of journalism. Anything! I'm kind of scared to do this presentation, or that I might not have enough material to fill an hour, but I'm going to try my hardest.
