I am having a hard time coming up with a topic for an essay. The theme is 'A Day in the Life of ___'

It has to be read aloud, so I am trying to think of something fun and am drawing a blank. Any ideas out there?

What about the day a hummingbird has to get ready to fly south....

getting enough food to last him, figuring out the shortest route to Mexico, figuring wind speed, etc. If you personify him, I think you could make it fun.
