Old school project
Today I received a package with a paper that I wrote 16 years ago, in high school.
The package didn't contain a note, nor did it have the name of the sender. I thought that perhaps Ettie or my parents had sent it, but I couldn't understand why. Thirty minutes later, when I took a picture for this article, it dawned on me that Niels had asked me for my address recently.
A great surprise! It was fun to read the paper. Papers like this motivated me to learn to use a computer. Teachers would tell me that my handwriting was so awful that it was hard to read. I believe this was the first document I created with Microsoft Word, after using WordPerfect for years. The title page was made in Microsoft Publisher.
I was 15 years old when I wrote it and remember the process (and the stress) quite well. Good times!

Re: Old school project
old old? not even at 1/3 i recon!
i was thinking about these assignments but can only recall not writing them at all (and somehow getting away with it) or 'reading my sisters version and base my version on that' :D
Re: Old school project
Nou inderdaad, those were the days...
Re: Old school project
I wonder what you wrote about the subject, and if in retrospect you still feel the same about it?
Re: Old school project
I was a liberal then, and I still am!
In the conclusion I wrote something like: "There are those that say that the Netherlands 'is full', but they are wrong and we should welcome refugees".
This was written when the "CD" was the only extreme right-wing political party, with a single seat in parliament...
