Speeches / Need pointers for a persuasive speech in getting a patron for life [6]

Thanks for the replies!

So far, my structure for the speech would be
-very short story of a child
-bring out the term "gender therapist"
-explain what is "gender" and "gender variant"
-why do we need a therapist in our country (lack of support & etc)
-how a therapist is useful
-why I am suited for the job

I am stuck at the personality part though. Do you think taking in account of "prior experience with gender-variant people" would be a good one to replace personality, if I cannot think out of any?

Thanks!

Speeches / Need pointers for a persuasive speech in getting a patron for life [6]

Hello there,

I am new here and found this site just a few days ago, registered myself today.

I was given a scenario in class, whereby I are in a reality show that will reward me with a patron for life. This patron will support me in all me plans to achieve me Ideal Job.

Theu task is to
"PERSUADE yor audience HOW and WHY you are suitable for that Ideal Job. Remember, you have to persuade your audience that you are the best candidate to receive a patron for life. "

The main point for the speech is to persuade the audiences to be my patron for Life, and to do that, we will tie that in with our "Ideal job or career" and our ideologies.

My Ideal Career is a family and child therapist that deals particularly with gender, which parallels with the issue I feel strongly for, gender variance and transgenderism. In my speech, I will include general information on the issue, the lack of awareness of the issue in my country, why gender variant children or adults need help and how my career will be of help to them.

Now I am not sure on how to structure my speech, should I include my personalities and characters in the speech as to show more credibility so that the audience will be more inclined to be my patron for life?
