Keith was stressed about his research paper. He had to write five pages about something that interested him, but he couldn't think of anything interesting. He decided that he would play
basketball instead. The next night Keith sat down to work again, but he still couldn't think of
anything interesting. So he listened to music and played video games instead. The next few
days went much the same. He told himself that he wasn't interested in anything, and then he
read comic books. He watched movies. He read about classic cars. Still, he couldn't think of
any interesting topics for his paper, Keith was worried now because it was due very soon, and
he didn't even have a topic. He tried to think of something that he found interesting, but again
he couldn't. He played his guitar and cooked a meal for his family instead. He loved to cook
At last the due date was here and Keith still didn't even have a topic. By now he had
accepted that he would fail. "If only I could have found a topic that interested me," he told
himself.
