Line: 1 to 1
 I was struck today by Eben's call for courage.

I signed up for this class because I was impressed by Eben's speech at the assembly where we were introduced to the electives. Here was someone who could somehow get away with saying what he thought - without any hedging or toning down. I thought, "I want to be able to do that".

Line: 73 to 73
 After several months in class, does anyone feel the need to modify their intros, as Michael did in MichaelHollowayIntro?

>		Oh, I don't know, Molissa. I see great potential for personal growth and self-knowledge in studying my classmates. Whether I believed it or not at the time, when we first arrived the Administration said it plainly: here are your peers, your future colleagues, your references, and (they may have omitted) your future adversaries. As Michael has pointed out in a new thread, the audience of lawyers is, for the most part, other lawyers. So, classroom observation could support two inquiries: 1) who are these masked men and women, and 2) how will I find the words, charisma, and courage to get them to listen to me?
