JOHN STREET

When I heard former Mayor John Street was coming to talk to us i wasn't excited at all.I thought he was just going to give a very long boring speech. Especially when he asked us to write our names down on a piece of paper and place it in a hat so he could pull it out for us to answer a question. I was thinking oh my god let me get comfortable cause this is going to be one boring two hours. Everybody finally got quiet then he said"Let me pull a name out this hat,if you don't have your name in this hat your going to be sorry."and I was just thinking to myself why is he saying that?Then he picked one piece of paper out the hat and the guy went up I was just wondering what he was going to have him do or what question he was going to ask him. But he asked nothing he just went inside his bag that he had with him and pulled out two dollars and gave it to him. Everybody went crazy after that getting up out there seats trying to hurry up and put there names inside the hat before he called another one which he did he pulled at least 5 names out the hat gave away 5,10 dollar Bills,obama t-shirts.We also played games such as, Who could hold there breathe the longest and the no laughing game. The boy that won the no breathing game looked like he was about to die his face was turning so red he looked like he was going to pass out but he didn't care he still stood his ground and won the grand prize of $20 dollars. The no laughing game everybody was losing left to right but wasn't nothing funny that anybody was saying or doing I really wish I would of played because I really would had won honestly. The last boy standing lost because he busted out laughing after the Mayor said"Vagina"like that wasn't even funny and he laughed wow! But threw all the fun he had a meaning and life long lesson for everything he did.I left out of that meeting feeling good thinking a little different about life and former Mayor John Street. Guess you really cant judge a book by its cover.
