Jane Goodall at the Bookworm

Yesterday, as soon as we got to the bookworm(an English bookstore) The people in charge said we had to move to a school 3 minuet down the road because of over sold tickets. We had to wait a long time for Jane Goodall to come because she had gotten stuck in traffic. QSI, our school, preformed a song and did a skit when Jane Goodall came. After all the clapping, our science teacher gave a introduction on who Jane Goodall is and what she believes in. After that, Jane Goodall gave a very inspirational talk,she talked about the environment and how there are less and less forests for all the animals she loves and cares about, and how anyone, no matter how small or weak, could make a difference. Everyone in the crowd was staring at her, admiring how she talked, how every time she said something, you would want to go out and do it. After that, we sat around and waited to go have the buffet supper, which was vegetarian of course. There was a big line up so I didn't want to go just yet. When my friends dad came up to us and said that Jane Goodall was signing books and only three people were in line, we all ran towards the table. One of the pictures I got I asked her to sign it to Rosser, the school I was in in Canada. I asked her to sign it for them because when I was at Rosser, we went to a Me to We thing a BC place. There were a lot of speakers there, and one of them was Jane Goodall. So I thought it would be cool for them to have a picture that is signed by Jane Goodall herself. I also asked her to sign a Mr.H Junior that I bought. The real Mr.H has a really interesting story to go with him. The story was tied around Mr.H Junior's neck, so I asked her to sign that. After everyone went to the signing, the supper line got shorter, so I went to go line up. Everything was a salad. Pasta salad, fruit salad, and just plain salad. And for desert, there was carrot cake, it was really good. After everyone had finished eating, there was a question and answer session for Jane Goodall. Lots of people asked questions, which were good, and she even did a chimpanzee call for us. After that there was a raffle then everyone went home.
