SPEAKING
“When Tegan finished her speech, I was in awe. Slowly people began to stand and clap as hard as they possibly could, and I was quick to join them. This 25 year old had done more in her short life than most have done in their lifetimes, and she was certainly funnier than all of the audience combined. The man sitting next to me with whom I’d conversed earlier said ‘I want to be like Tegan when I’m older’. The fact that he was probably in his sixties didn’t seem to be a deterrent.”
