Speech, Tuesday, December 1, 2015, 4th period

"Hey, everyone! Hope you left room after lunch for these delicious cookies I baked for you myself!" Josh said, pointing to plates of cookies he found behind the classroom door.

Don't make Josh bake. It just ends badly for everyone.

"As the cookies may have reminded you, we are heading into the holiday season, which means finals are just around the corner. As your final exam project, due in two weeks, I would like you to work on a thirty minute presentation, with visual aids, that would convince students thinking of applying here to join us. Today, I need you to be able to successfully deflect answers to the following questions: 'But what if you turn into a baby?' 'I heard someone accidentally dated their mother!' and 'Rain of pudding can't be hygenic,' which yes, is a statement more than a question, but you get the point. Have a cookie, work out your reponses, etc., etc. Ready...go."

"Excuse me, Mr. Lyman?" Kathy said, hanging around a little awkwardly after class. "I was wondering if you'd had a chance to write up that letter of recommendation I'd asked about?"

"I do!" Josh said, holding out an envelope. "I even wrote it myself!"

Which was pretty impressive, to Josh.

"Thank you!" Kathy said, much relieved and beaming at him. She took the envelope gently, like it was made of spun glass, and tucked it into her bag. "I'm almost done with my applications, so I'll be able to send this along. All good things, I hope?"

"Of course," Josh said. "A lot about the academic rigor of my class, nothing at all about how we sometimes become nine."

"Thank you," Kathy said, still beaming. "If I make it into Stanford, you'll be the first person I call, Mr. Lyman."

"You may call your parents first, but just them," Josh allowed.

They'd be lucky to make it in the top five, honestly.

"I'll keep that in mind," she promised. "But you were the person who first convinced me to apply to Stanford, so I think you get dibs."

"And I'm only making hilarious jokes about the school in my head now," Josh said, "instead of out loud. I think I've really grown as a person."

"We're all very proud of you," Kathy assured him, grinning. "Stanford itself appreciates it, I'm sure."
