What's the Purpose of Making a Young Person Cry

I think I almost made a recent high school graduate cry. The black people legal bar association that I belong to conducted a region oral competiton in memory of MLK Jr. After the competition the judges gave positive feedback and constructive criticism. The second place winner, well, the criticism is that she spoke too fast. I wanted to tell her something; my gut said say it. But then I didn't see her; or I thought I saw her go into the bathroom. I went to my car and as I was about to enter it I saw No. 2.

When I was younger I talked fast. At some point I realized that sometimes I did it because I didn't think what I had to say was worth anyone's time. Say it fast; it's done. People could go on with their life. I asked No. 2 to remember that what she had to say was important. The best way to communicate her message was too speak slower so people can understand it. If she believed in G*d that she should consider that G*d has a purpose for her. Part of that purpose includes giving information to people; people that G*d wants to hear her; people that need to hear what she has to say. That she would be doing G*d's will, furthering G*d's purpose for her. Reminded her of how smart and accomplished she was; and supported my proposition by giving her my evaluation of her presentation.
