So this weekend, my Mock Trial team is at a mock trial tournament - the one at Penn specifically. We've been doing pretty well, but it's frustrating that there are members on my team that seem to care more about gossiping about their personal lives than working to win this tournament.
And it's at moments like these that I miss my team from last year. My directing attorney, my witness, my defense counsel table. There was a closer on my team - he was prosecution closer, and middle attorney on defense. He was amazing. In fact, before I gave my closing earlier today, I thought of him. Thought of all the closings that he had given that I had seen, how he had owned the well and how he had commanded the attention of everyone around him. And I tried to channel that. I remember standing on the balcony over the stairs and thinking of him and his closings. And trying to be that. Trying to be him.
I did get a 10 on one closing :) Next step: double 10s!
