Self-advocacy

This past week, when my mentor was making a lot of changes to the speech that another intern and I were writing for the upcoming Youth Town Meeting, I was confused on a couple of things she asked me to change. Thankfully we communicate very well so when I repeatedly asked what she meant by that, I wasn't afraid of sounding ignorant. Because I asked that a lot. I thought it would be necessary, though, and it was, because we ended up with a great speech, shortened to two pages, which we then presented at opening of the Youth Town Meeting to tremendous fanfare and critical acclaim. Thank you, thank you.
