Headmaster: Ah, Jubilee. There you are. I’ve been meaning to talk to you about your term project …
Jubilee (Smiling): Let me stop you right there headmaster. My commitment to my project is steadfast, unwavering and consistent. Ever since we began the semester I have always believed in the delivery and successful execution of my Vision
Headmaster: Indeed. But there’s the small matter of actual work …
Jubilee (Standing upright): The importance of my project to me cannot be emphasized enough. Students before me have made lofty promises about their projects and failed to deliver. I however, stand head and shoulders on a firm foundation of sober leadership
Headmaster (Flustered): Yes, but I need to see actual progress on the project …
Jubilee: Many students have come before me and promised to hand in successful projects. I believe passionately in my potential, acumen and grit to deliver on my project. I am 100% committed
Headmaster: Er … yes, that’s right, but you see, I need to see …
Jubilee: A project is not something to be undertaken lightly. As I said at the beginning of the semester, the time for work is now
Headmaster: Yes …
Jubilee: Now! As you have seen in my preliminary pre-project draft, planning and execution is key

Jubilee: Many a student when faced with such obstacles would undoubtedly bow to the pressures of responsibility. But I am pleased to affirm my continued and total commitment to my project
Headmaster (Desperately): But Jubilee, I need to actually see something …
Jubilee: I think you can agree that my communications strategy is top notch, delivering timely and continuous updates on my strategic tactical roadmap
Headmaster: Yes, but I also need to see actual …
Jubilee (Takes seat): Communication, headmaster, is paramount. I deeply urge you to appreciate the importance of timely, continuous and holistic communication
Headmaster (Grabbing top of head): Jubilee! Have you or have you not started on your project
Jubilee (Leans back): Headmaster you raise a relevant and poignant question. What is to start? Let me assure you headmaster, that my start is like no other start in the history of this school
Headmaster (Brusquely): So have you started or not? Where can I see …
Jubilee: A lesser student would be overwhelmed by the prospects of a project but not I. My unwavering commitment is second to none, and I believe you will be satisfied with my delivery
Headmaster (Loosening tie): Stop. Stop. Answer yes or no. Have you actually started your project
Jubilee (Smiling ingratiatingly): Sir! One of the lessons from this fine school is to refuse to confine myself in the pedestrian path of absolutes
Headmaster (Gritting teeth): Answer my question!
Jubilee (Looking surprised): Anyone who has known me and my methods can testify to my rigorous work ethic, passionate approach to responsibility and unflinching determination to do my duty
Headmaster (Grabs top of head): Dammit boy …
Jubilee: Sir, you look like you could use some quality quiet time.
