Will you hold my hand for her?

My friend Lauren is brilliant at Spanish, but doesn't like to talk in class. Fine and good, except it's twenty percent of her grade. As an attempt to get her to talk more last semester, I made a stick with a hand of cardboard covered in felt at the end of it that read "Yo quiero hablar!"

But this semester, we're in different hours. So I had to ask Sra. Rodriguez, "Will you hold my hand for her?"

(Apparently it's working!) ;D
