After lunch, the junior representatives listened to an author read from her work. Jamal's
mom had given him some money to get a souvenir of his big day, and Jamal decided to buy
the author's book. When she was done with her presentation, Jamal approached her and
asked if she had any copies for sale. The woman gave him a copy for free and even wrote
an inscription inside. She wrote, I hope you had a blast during the conference. I wish I had
someone as ambitious as you working on my campaign. Jamal was touched by her words.
He shook the woman's hand and went back to join the other junior representatives.
