in college
I pretty much never
raised my hand
& one time I DID
& the professor was impressed or something
why didn't I speak up more
& I don't remember HOW I cleaned it up at the
TIME -- because I cannot imagine -- I said THIS
I don't want to SOUND like them*
*by which I guess I meant the way people sound when they are trying to impress people
I had only spoken UP this particular
TIME
because
no one else was getting there
& I felt I had something
to contribute
