In the past I have had problems with English teachers accepting my enthusiasm for *NSYNC and my need to express it in my writings. This year I was fortunate enough to have the leadership and guidance of Mr. Jim Leidy. Not only was he understanding to my love for *NSYNC but he and I shared jokes about how much he loved them as well.
For example, my HONORS *oh yeah I'm smart!* English class had to do a multimedia portfolio for the second semester. We had to do a persuasive, expository, and narrative essay and a research paper. We also had to perform a monologue that we videotaped ourselves doing. Well, for my expository essay I explained how I began to love *NSYNC. I did my research paper on *NSYNC. When I did my monologue I sat on my bed (it went along with it) and my *NSYNC posters were in clear view. After Mr. Leidy watched our videos, he told the class that if you wanted to see the best one then to watch so-and-so's or if you wanted to see the most creative then to watch whoever's. Then he said "If you want to see the entire *NSYNC poster collection then watch Kim's." I thought that was quite funny. Now, when I turned in my entire portfolio I used *NSYNC pictures as dividers for the sections. A few days later I asked Mr. Leidy if he had looked through them and what he thought of mine. He said he was going through and burning each of my *NSYNC pictures. :( I said that he was putting them up on his walls because he was such a big fan. So he says "You're right. I mean, except for the ones I already have." Mr. Leidy is without a doubt the funniest guy in the world and he deserves mad props for being such a wise ass.
