I walked out onto my deck. I heard a voice that was stating various facts quite well. I was puzzled and went to find said voice. I found my nephew who is staying with us. He was collecting horse manure. He does that as part of the agreement we have. He gets to live with us and attend college. He helps clean up around the farm which is actually an even trade for room-and-board.
But, I was amazed that he was actually rehearsing his presentation for a class. That's a sound method for a presenter. I work at a university and I don't see that everyday. But my nephew said he has to do that since he is limited in both time and subject. I used to do that for most of the classes that I taught. It was the only way I felt prepared. It's a sound and well-established method for a presenter.
Maybe there is hope for us. Maybe some of our young have common sense. Just when you're about to give up on them...
Just an aside about the youth of today when I just about gave up on them. Shame on me!
