Mr Johnson? You understand? Ms Watson, any questions? Mr Andy, are you going to sleep on me? She stands up there in front of the room. She is 5’3, maybe 125 lbs, short dark hair, and has worked extra hard to look like a professional. She is wearing glasses, but i doubt she has trouble seeing. She tries so hard to say the right thing. I can tell by how she reacts, that means everything to her if you are paying attention. Her self worth is based on if you get the right answer, even as she searches how to ask the right question. It’s very cold in the room she feels so she bundles up In her jacket, as if she is starring in a new school play. She is ready for her spotlight. What are you guys doing after class she asks. She wants to be in charge, but can’t help but want to be included in all the fun. She seems trapped between two worlds. She passionately wants to be an adult, but isn’t ready to grow up. She is asked how old she is. She says she never answers that question as she plays with her glasses and stands up straight. I wonder what she is hiding and yet what she is hidng is standing right in front of me.
