Rebecca Skloot's Speech

I was actually very interested to hear what Rebecca had to say during her speech. To hear her talk about her true meaning and inspiration behind writing this book was very interesting. I was curious to hear how she was going to answer some of the questions that she was asked. She seems like a very, very intelligent woman who is very passionate about her book. It's also interesting to me how she never wanted to be a writer until she learned about this story, and this is what has pretty much made her career. She has sold many, many copies of her book, and is now going to have it made into a movie. It just goes to show you how you never know which direction your life is going to lead. I didn't think I was going to enjoy her speech, but I was very moved and motivated after her speech was over.
