Kennedy bit his lip as he thought of an answer. Honestly, he wasn't good at this subject. At. All. But, he wanted to give it a try. Like his mom always says, 'it doesn't hurt to try'. Plus, this professor seem to be nice and maybe even understanding. She didn't seem like the type that would rip someone's head off for expressing the wrong answer. Using the latter as consolation, Kennedy raised his hand. "Um, besides clearing your mind, isn't it important to have an open mind as well because one can misinterpret a reading?" he said, which came out in question form.

Wasn't it though? Wasn't it important to be open to whatever you saw? Because a closed mind might not see what's there.
