Well, I guess my beginnings would be when I was born. I was born and raised in Cloudsdale, not really doing the best at school but not terrible either, and I lived a fairly normal life, despite my, um, being a changeling...."
Sky finished his speech and waited for questions, the adrenaline rush now dying and giving him a reminder of why he was nervous in the first place. Sky had never been comfortable with speaking in front of any crowd, it just made him real nervous.
The committees weren't sure whether Sky was done. It felt too brief. But after a few seconds, the members shrugged and started asking questions. Pinwheel Dreams, an Agrarian on the Social Justice Committee, gave the first.
"Mr. Sprinter, has anypony ever suspected you of being a changeling until now, and if so, how often, and could you please elaborate on it?"
"No, as far as I know, nopony has ever suspected me of being a changeling. The ponies I've been near to never seem to think that they could be talking to a changeling, and it helped that I lived entirely in Equestria, so I had the same experiences that anypony in Cloudsdale would have as a foal, minus some close-calls with discovery." Sky replied. The pause before the questions worried him but he felt relieved that things seemed to go smoothly.
