"In the South, if you know we have this thing called 4H and it's like agriculture, sewing, whatever. We all were required to compete in one of these things and I saw public speaking on there. We had to give a speech and I noticed all the other kids had notecards. I was like I'm gonna memorize mine and I did and I won. I didn't even tell my foster parents I was doing this because I didn't want to disappoint them when I didn't win. They were so proud of me and that was the first time an adult was proud of me.
