Summary of Amy Poehler's Yes Please

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had only been onstage twice before I played Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz. I had played a singing lion in a school play in the role of a singing lion, and I had spent my childhood performing for attention and control. #2 I had a Dorothy Moment when I was speaking in front of a group of parents, teachers, and students. I could decide what the next moment would be. I could try something new. I could go off script and give something a shot. #3 I knew I was going to be on Saturday Night Live from the very beginning. I didn’t know if I had the talent or drive, but I had a tiny little voice whispering inside of me that told me I would meet Carol Burnett someday, and that I would be okay. #4 I was so excited to go to Boston College that I wiggled in my seat as I wore my cap and gown. I was unprepared for the fact that most of the students were wealthier than me. I met prep school students who knew how to decorate their rooms with tapestries.
