this event happened a little while after i was born so the only conversation i ever heard of her situation was through eminem's music. I'd never even spent a second thinking about her life or how disastrous that event was for her. this honestly blew me away.

This scandal is my first vivid political memory - I was eight years old, living in Poland. _Everyone_ was talking about this. I'm in awe of Ms. Lewinsky bravery and ressillience, to not only survive it, but come back stronger and use her most traumatic memory to do good, change the world.
Oh, and also - down to the literary components, this was a _really_ well-written speech :)

Well done, Mrs. Watson, well done...

Powerful reading. Do the actors choose their own text, or do you assign it?
