Cate's speech was the most intriguing to me. She seemed both knowledgeable about her organization and she also presented her argument casually and relaxed which created a personal presentation. Cate included many simple numbers and stats to support her asking of our donation toward Big Brothers Big Sister. Often people ramble off all these numbers, so quickly and randomly that I don't exactly relate them back to their main argument, but she did a good job of including enough numbers to become credible but not too many which would have been overwhelming.
I also have a personal connection to this organization. My dad was a Big Brother to someone that has overtime become a uncle like figure in my life. Although the actual relationship developed before I was born, I know that the support Scott received from my dad changed his attitude toward life drastically. With the combination of Cate's speech and my knowledge of the impact my dad made it makes me want not only support the foundation with money but also maybe in the future my time, by becoming a Big Sister.
