Wayfan's Stories

[JEDM]

I thought the topic implied everyones stories

Not to be rude, but where does it say "Everybody else's stories welcome!!"

Is that how teachers really think students are?

No, but it's what we* aim for. If you "made it through" without having to give 100%, then you obviously never had any strong teachers. And just think about how much more you might have gotten if you HAD given 100%. Without even knowing you on a personal level, I already KNOW that you haven't yet reached your fullest potential. And part of that is due to your lack of effort to do the best you can do in all areas of your life.

Hey, don't let me sound like I was the best student in the world! I was a straight 2.8 student all the way through high school, and I got Cs and Bs most of the time before that. It wasn't until college that I starting to really put forth effort. And from day one I got 4.0s or close to it in every subject throughout. It took me a long time to get to the stage to where I wanted to do the best I could do.

Besides, the goal isn't to "make it through," or to pass a test, or to get a grade. I'm not settling for those low standards of supposed achievement for my kiddos. I'm reaching for level VI. I'm not there yet, and neither are most of them, but I will be. And eventually, all the kids that come through my doors will get there.


*"We," meaning the select few of us who actually care about our kids and truly want them to reach their fullest possible potential.

[Well, Well, Well]

That's the way to do it. I know some people who got straight As throughout high school but were, in a way, heartbroken when they couldn't make the same grade in college.

Oh....

I'm not touching this thread with a 27 foot pole

[Bruce the Duck]

That's the way to do it.

I'm REALLY sorry you feel that way. But you're smart. You'll figure it out eventually.

The topics name was "Wayfan's Stories." At first I thought it meant people who are fans of Weird Al (Basically the entire forum community) can post stories here. Then I realized it was referring to the spefic user named: WAYfan. Again, my bad.

[JEDM]

I really am sorry about that...

WAYfan broke his promise...where is chapter 2!?

[WAYFan]

I'm sorry, guys. I DID break my promise...I haven't had the computer I typed it on for all of yesterday. It'll be here today...I REALLY promise!!!!!

[JEDM]

I'll be waiting to read it

Try not to break your promise again

Since this story was for a school project, post what you have & maybe we could give you more ideas on how to flush it out.  Then, you could go back & write more scenes/fill out the story more & you'll have a great fanfic!

I'm following your advice, and I hope this isn't getting anyone down, but I'm just gonna post the whole rest of Story #1, and then see what ideas you guys give me to make it better. OK?

And now, behold: my (promise-now-fulfilled) rest of the story!

He (Yankowitz) laughed. “That I am, boy!” he said, looking and talking absolutely nothing like his brother. “And now, I’ve got my brother’s #2 fan-YOU-in my clutches! Now I’m going to, um, oh yes, KILL YOU, and then take out my non-comedic brother!!! Mwa-ha-ha-HA!!!!”
“Non-comedic!?!? Alfred Matthew Yankovic is the most comedic, funny, and inspirational artist of the past---“ I started, but couldn’t finish. I had been looking to the heavens as if to expect God to agree with me, but then I saw…The More Important HIM.
“Oh. My. GOD!!!!!” I practically blew my uvula out of my mouth. (Eeew.) High in the sky, “Weird Al” Yankovic came swooping down, covered in a brilliant green-and-yellow spandex costume. He landed beside me, and I actually thought about kneeling as I shakily shook his hand. Then he spotted Yankowitz.
“Yo, bro!” he shouted he that nasally voice I knew and loved. “Why don’t you go mess with some other multi-billionaire?”
“Because,” snarled Yankowitz, “now that I have both of you, you’ll each get to see the other’s demise. Oooh, this is even better than I planned! I mean, it’s not like you both have superpowers or anything, is it?”
I remembered my X-Ray Vision, but Al was looking at his evil twin like he was the biggest idiot in the world.
`”What?” asked Yankowitz.
Al said nothing, but looked at his costume, then quizzically back at All. He chuckled.
I turned to Al and asked, “Do you have superpowers too? I thought I heard him say ‘both’.”
“Yeah,” said Al. “And just wait until you see it!” After a few more minutes of talking, we turned to face Yankowitz. We had a plan.
“Gee, All,” said Al, “if you thought we didn’t have powers—“ he stopped and laughed maniacally, then finished: “Then boy, did you think wrong!”
We each quickly did our part. I used my X-Ray Vision to find Yankowitz’s weak spot, which turned out to be his colon. Then Al stepped in front of me. I could tell he was ready to blow his brother out of the business, literally.
He took off his “27” sunglasses, and shot out heat vision!!! I swear I could hear Yankowitz’s screaming as he blew up.
Suddenly we heard cheering, and my house lifted up as if it was a backdrop, which is exactly what it was! I was on stage with Al on the SOL Tour!!!! He grabbed my hands and we took some bows. We actually sang a few songs together!
After the show, we headed backstage where Mssrs. Jay, West, and Schwartz gave me plenty of backslaps and Al lent me some of his heat vision (don't ask.). Al came up and said, “Hey WAYFan, wanna come with us for the rest of the tour? Your powers would make an AWESOME addition to the show!”
“Wow, really?? Yes, I’d love that!” That ‘s when I accidentally fired some of Al’s heat vision onto Mr. West’s guitar.
Oops.

THE END
