I was riveted. Naomi said everything I'd always felt about what it meant to be a grown-up woman, what I hoped to be, someday. My classmates were all shuffling and picking up their papers because my prof had misjudged the time and class was technically over.<BR/><BR/>But I stayed, rapt. And afterward asked for a copy of the speech, which she gave me, and I carry with me to this day, more than 10 years later, in my daily planner.Kristinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03005060328496062807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17379339.post-53966351050021226382008-04-09T07:05:00.000-04:002008-04-09T07:05:00.000-04:00Thanks CB.
