Tapping the table anxiously waiting for that buzzer to finally beep‚ I am ready to end this. beep‚ beep‚ beep. My self control wasn’t always the best. I would speak my mind often. My mouth was at times as fast as a Nascar and as out of control as a tornado. I was at a debate tournament and I was about to ask the opposing team my questions about the South China Sea conflict.
