      bach baroque Fainting has nothing to do with emotions. It’s an evolutionary response to perceived threat - fight, flight or freeze - and it can affect anyone no matter how tough or emotionally in-check. But can you imagine the pressure they’re under in this scenario? Have some empathy.

So I would disagree with you. in Canada We cannot adopt out native children to non native familes bc of the assimilation history in which the goal was to "Kill the Indian in the child". America was no different. If anything America is behind. That Child should have never been given to the caldwells to begin with. It speaks to the problem America has with not caring enough for its first nations people.

    I'm a law student and had moot before this. It was intense!
    We haven't slept for days in finishing and compiling the files for mooting. Had to read many cases for hundreds of pages, printing it out, memorised it and understand it only for a few days, and had to run when submitting the files. Everything was like a marathon. And...it's not over yet! We had to present our files in front of the judges, getting asked for many times, getting scolded at. I never had the hardest time in my life except during that day.
    Furthermore, I'm the type that has to read again and again since I'm not that smart to understand at once but yeah, that's how it was....

I basically am the same like you, I have to read and read again and again I am not that smart to understand at once, but basically I am a relentless mf when I have to be. Law is interesting because it deals a lot with cases and between you and me, I have to make sense of all of these things by writing it down re organizing it on pen and paper until I have all the things certain just for me to begin to proceed further. Most of the time I have had to negotiate with my "inner self" to come to an agreement to work together with me - me if that makes sense haha! Then there's the researching needed and the readings to complement it. But this is only just the beginning because after all this you gotta look at the issues and then start dissecting further if you missed anything ladidadiDA!

      Tobes Z Hmmm. You could literally say that about all jobs. The only job that doesn't serve any corporation is something you don't get paid for. Like voluntary work. That would be a great world I think, but people have to serve for a corporation whether they want to or not. If anything, working for any corporate place you have to work for, you can eventually create something genuine of your own one day once you have money saved and want to do something about it. The road will be difficult but that's life. You gotta go through the grunt work before you call the shots.

      It's all about preperation, if you're someone like me and you're stressed in environments with large crowds then it's all about memorizing your arguement as well thinking up every possible counter question they (the judges or opposing attorney) might bring up and its answers/retorts. For something like this public mock hearing it would take a solid two weeks worth of work/preperation. Oh and it helps to think that you're better than everyone or that they're all naked under their gowns.

      I'm not sure what "greatly studin in Harvard" has to do with anything though, I feel like that would make the stress worse, not better. Harvard students are held to an exceptional standard by the school, peers and their families - not to mention the pressure of needing to do perfectly because it costs so much money to attend, IF you can even get in in the first place.

      Being a non english speaker may bring difficulties when it comes to speaking and arguing on the spot. A lot of questions they ask her are related to the topic but not always something you might see coming and they are interrupting her on top of that which could easily confuse a person. You could become overwhelmed if you are not fluent regardless of how much you have studied.
      However, I don't think a person would get to this level if they are not fluent english speakers. I think, to be here at all, youd need to be fluent. On the other hand, there are plenty of people that are fluent in english who would still have a hard time being this eloquent and coming up with arguments and explanations that are concise yet cogent.
      English is not my mother tongue but I am fluent and only a few people have noticed my accent, Ive been in the u.s for many years and for some reason, when Im speaking quickly I have a hard time with pronouns if I'm using multiple in a sentence
      For example: "he told her that she met her" would 100% trip me up
