4.  List three reasons your answer is true with a real-world application for each.

My first answer: My father was the one who has always told me about the 6 p's. He learned them when he was in the national guard because it is essential to plan everything out precisely if you want it to go dmoothly.

Second answer: Fake it til you make it is something my 5th grade teacher taught me when I was nervous about going in front of a large crowd to speak. She said that if you act like you know what you're doing, no one will tell you otherwise. This helps in stage managment because a lot of people rely on you to know what you're doin and how to do it well.
