I did not do so in a judgmental or affronting manner, but rather intimated that he himself could check up on what I was saying to see for himself.

At the end of the summer, my portrait was completed because I had maintained the routine and started off on the right foot by educating myself on how to proceed.
5. Tell me about a time when you had to use your presentation skills to influence someone's opinion.
For a class, I had to give an argumentative research presentation. I first researched the topic, formulated a thesis, then provided evidence to support the thesis. I also considered an opposing point of view and researched reasons for why my thesis was still correct in light of this opposite opinion.

Only one path leads to intervention. Whether a victim receives help is also determined by how
