What wisdom and experience can you bring to the board and the younger generation of witches and wizards?
Sherman was a bit confused about how to answer this question. That was.. kind of.. VAGUE, wasn't it? Did they just want a very vague answer in return? He blinked at the man asking the question a couple more times before answering again. "I.. well, I'm old." He didn't like acknowledging it, but everyone could tell. It wasn't like it was a SECRET. "And with old age comes more stuff than prune-like skin, sir. Because of my years at Hogwarts, I can relate to students' feelings very well and be empathetic, if you will, which I think would help me assist the Board in solving any problems they might have." But that was all boring stuff that he'd said like a MILLION times now. He felt repetitive. Hadn't he had done some other, more interesting stuff in his life than go to Hogwarts?

No? Well, then.

"And, because I'm so, um, aged, I think I'd have a lot of things that could be helpful to the other governors. I've been in many different situations that have given me useful insight into other issues." LIKE. Um. EXAMPLES. He needed some. "I, of course, have my experience from the Ministry, and then I also have a very, very small bit of teaching experience because of a seminar I taught at Hogwarts last term." No need to mention that he had baby-fied his head while there, mmk? "These, along with other events I have been a part of in my lengthy life and gained wisdom from, make me rather well-rounded. I can have ideas and opinions different from some other candidates, so I feel that I could be of assistance to the Board and the younger generation of witches and wizards."

.. did he even answer the whole question? He didn't know. Besides, people like Althea Schirmer, and probably that Nolan Reynolds chap, too, had Ministry and teaching experience. And had gone farther with it than he ever had. He hadn't ever done anything EXCEPTIONAL. Could he back and change his answer? But if Sherman kept talking any longer, he was going to start hyperventilating or something so he would just stop now. Was that okay?
