[Video] Track 07

[The video boots up to show Miko sitting relaxed on a berth.]

Hey, I thought about this, and I think it's only fair that I get the chance to explain to the people who are expected to vote about keeping me on the committee or not about me and why I applied.

For those that don't know I'm Miko. On my Earth I was living in America as an exchange student. What this means for those who don't know about it is I don't come from America, one of the countries on my Earth, I come from Japan, I was staying in America to learn about a different country and way of living. To get over there I had to do a lot of paperwork and learn a lot of things about why I had to do some stuff and couldn't do other things.

My parents wanted me to go to a different town than I went to so I had to do most of the stuff myself, no help from my family and only a little help from the office people where I had to turn in my information.

[She sits up a bit, looking a little more respectable.]

I may not be an adult my human standards, and I may have a lot of growing left to do, but that doesn't mean I'm not worth hearing just because I'm not there yet. I shouldn't have any less of a voice here than any one else, regardless of my age.

Honestly humans never stop growing, even adults are learning and changing, improving all of the time. I know I'm not an adult, and I know I may have crazy ideas or say things that aren't always smart, but I'm willing to admit it when it happens. I don't think I'm a grown up for being on the committee, I just think I'm getting the chance to help the place I'm living in.

There are probably some who won't think any different about me even with this, and there may be some who do, I can't make anyone do anything, but I'm asking you to give me a chance to prove that while I may not be an adult yet, I can still do powerful things.

Comments

[originaldragoon]

Touché. Then I hope you are able to handle the responsibility.

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I hope so too, and I hope if I make mistakes people will be willing to come talk to me about fixing them, rather than just getting upset.

[originaldragoon]

Just keep in mind that, due to the debate on whether you should be on the committee or not, you will have to work harder than what would normally be expected. Also, mistakes, depending on what kind and how many, can result in you being dismissed until a later date.

[No pressure.]

[heavymetalgenkigirl]

I don't think any of us should work any less than our hardest. And that anyone, no matter how old or what kind of history they have, should loose their position if they make too many or huge mistakes. We should all be held to the same standard, but it shouldn't be too lax of a standard on anyone.
