I find myself in much of the same situation Dale is in. At 20, I am busting
with energy most of the time. I know how to fix the problems and I have the
desire to, but I often get the "you're not old enough and experienced
enough" excuse from people who haven't seen my work. A lot of people assume
that experience and ability comes with age. I agree with that point to a
degree. However, I know a lot of teenagers who are brilliant and a lot of
people in their 40s who don't have sense enough to get out of the rain. :-)

Contrary to Mr. Reagan, sometimes youth is a positive.
I have two years on Mel, and I'm just finally getting
out of the 'you're so young...' Govern your enthusiasm
and impatience in meetings and kick (*$.
