This year I had to do a 6 page research paper for my History class. Everyone picked a number and whatever topic was matched with that number you had to do. I ended up choosing the Seneca Falls Convention. It was the first women's protest lead by Lucrieta Mott and Elizabeth Candy Stanton back in 1848.
I was having problems typing the paper because there was just not that much information to put into a research paper. My Uncle Ken had been visiting my house that day so he helped me write the paper. I handed it in the next day (a week early) because I was finished. My teacher had neglected to tell us how he wanted us to set up the paper. So, he handed me the paper back and told me to change it.
Two days later we got a call from my cousin Veronica that my Uncle Ken was in critical condition and the doctors said he wouldn't survive. Four days later at 10:30 Veronica called again and told us Uncle Ken had died. I took off from school on Thursday and Friday because I needed to be home with my family and there was things that had to be done for the funeral, wake, and all that stuff.
I did go to school before school actually started to handed the paper back to him the same. Then I came home and that was the end of it. Today, he handed me back the paper with a big 0 on it. He said that he told me to change it last time and I didn't, so as far as he's concerned, the paper is still a rough draft. He asked me to change the paper or keep the 0. I told him, "It's the last thing I did was my Uncle before he died. I'm not changing it."
It's important for me to have a lasting memory of my Uncle before his death. Something I can actually hold on too and keep in a box or something. I'll always have the emotions and other memories, but I'd actually want something I can touch. The last memory I have of my Uncle is of him in the coffin, with his wife and two kids crying over it while my Grandma whispers, "I'll be seeing you soon, Kenny. Soon," while she traced the lines on his face from where tubes and machines had been put to try and save his life. I don't want that to be my last memory. I'd much rather have a happy memory of me and him working on a paper in my room while watching "Wrong Turn."
What do you think I should do? Change the paper and pass or keep the paper the way it is, get the 0, and have the last healthy memory of my Uncle intact.
