I get told i cant present (her school tech could take a floppy). I explain in front of everyone i cant buy a flashdrive. A friend says borrow mine and bring it back. The teach says no then we’ll both be late. It took multiple phone calls from my parents to get the work accepted..
I decided from then on I would learn everything, one day have everything, and be best project doer ever. But how upsetting is that to a kid. Im glad we live in an age where storage is so cheap and so large. I paid 3 dollars for 64gb on sale. More than enough for a 10 slide project…
