In Eliza's fantasy she walks to the podium, which she is suddenly tall
enough to see over, and begins speaking to a cafeteria suddenly filled
to capacity.
A few of you might know my name, but most of you don't even recognize
me. I know you, though. And what I'm about to say is as important to you
as it is to me.
It's the lead-in to a speech from a particularly powerful after-school
special. Eliza's always thought it made a great beginning. No actual
words come after that, but Eliza's mouth keeps moving and the music
swells. By the end, all the students are smiling with little tears in
their eyes and Lindsay Halpern makes a place for Eliza at her table
between her and Roger Pond.
