expect the unexpected

The Science and Technology Week celebration was approaching. For our project in Geometry, we will be making something from ordinary materials. We planned to make a robot. My group mates at that time were Allana Mae D. Muñoz and Grechelle Mae S. Alindajao. The required number of members of each group is four but there were only three of us. We were looking for another member but we were unsuccessful. So we just proceeded to the making of our project. But we still do not know what are we going to make. Allana suggested that we will make a robot. Me and Grechelle agreed and so we just planned when we will make it. We planned that we will make it at Josephine's house. She was one of our close friends.

While that day has not arrived yet, we started collecting old and recycled boxes. Since there are a lot of old boxes at home, I kept all of them in a plastic bag. And my group mates also started to collect boxes.

When that day has finally came, we planned to go to Josephine's house but the plan did not work out. We will not be able to make the project at her house. So what we did was to make it instead at our classroom. That day was also the day that we will have a make-up class in Physical Education(P.E.). We were also lucky because we planned to go to school that day very early that is why we had time to make the project. When arrived at our classroom, We were the only people there. We were the early birds(let's just say). Then we prepared the materials needed. But something was missing. We do not have anything to glue the boxes altogether. I went immediately to the Benton classroom and asked Milcah if she has a glue gun. I was lucky. We were lucky because Milcah has a glue gun.

Then we started putting up the boxes together. It only took us about an hour to finish the project. When we finally finished it, we tried to make it stand. Good thing because it was able to stand. We then named it KOKO ROBOT. Why? Because his body was a KOKO CRUNCH box(I was the one who brought it. I was the one who brought many boxes).

We just left it at the classroom. Then time really really really flies. It was already twelve-thirty in the afternoon. We started to change for our P.E. uniform. Then we had our class. We were very very very glad because we were able to finish it very early.

Then the Science and Technology Week finally came. It was the time that we have to display our projects at the Biology lab. When I arrived there, GOSH! The projects of the other people were very very very very nice and wonderful. There was a rocket, a piano, a cellphone(a big one) then many more. Then I displayed our project there. There were other people who were supposed to arrange our projects so I just left it there.

Many days passed days passed by. Then the day that they should award the winners came. We were not expecting that our project will win because it was kind of not so nice. But do you know what happened? Our project won! I got up from my seat very late that I was almost scolded by Madam Lapa. We were supposed to get our prize by group but my group mates insisted to let me get it alone.

At that day, we were very happy.
