But 11 you asked me what I really did in South Africa, I'd tell you one thing: I listened, and I listened. Sometimes I 12 , but mostly listened.

16 that summer, I knew how to hear. I could sit down with anyone and hear their 17 and nod and respond at the 18 time—but most of the time I was 19 about the next words out of my own mouth. Ever since my summer in South Africa, I have noticed that it's in those moments when my mouth is closed and my 20 is wide open that I've learned the most about other people, and perhaps about myself. 1.
