question1
In 8th grade there was an assembly I don't specifically remember the speakers name I think his name was mad dog or something. He came to talk to our school about drugs and alcohol. Its funny how I remember everything about the speech after all the time besides the guys name. What made his speech so memorable to me was one the topic was something all of us young teens were facing the so called choices of the road we want to travel. Also the key to me was his passion and the credibility he had. He had been there done that he spoke with such power and passion where not only did you believe him because of his credibility but because his passion spoke volumes. By far best speech I have ever heard. In college I took a class and we had a guest speaker from a bank talk to us about credit cards and how to avoid debt the problem with debt and so forth. This person was monotone not enthusiastic at all you could tell they had no drive or believe in what they were doing it was completely boring and useless. I coudlnt even pay attention during the speech so I remember nothing besides the fact she worked for bank of america but thats probably because that is my personal bank.

Hello 49ers! Why specifically do you think you remember Mad Dog's speech? How did this person convey their credibility on the subject? Was the speaker trustworthy? Could you trust what this person was saying?
