Slide 5: Why should your audience listen to you? Explain your ethos (credibility). My audience should
listen to me and find me credible because I happen to be one of the students that became a statistic because of the flaws in the educational system. I
joined
the
military
after
high
school
in
order
to
buy
time
to
decide
what
career
I
wanted
to
pursue.
This
happened
to
many
of
my
military
friends
also,
not
that
being
in
the
military
is
bad
but
feeling
like
it
is
the
only
choice
is
a
major
problem
that
needs
more
attention.
