The speaker already demonstrates his personality by being amusing to his listeners and a clear speaker, which

and his purpose.
For me, the speaker relays more on Pathos as he shares his journey with his audience as a teacher in a public school, his
experiences with his students, and his part as a teacher in allowing his student to recognize the importance of education.

First, about 0.44 seconds into his speech introduction, when asked why he teaches, I

speaker should do in front of his audience.
The audience for this presentation would be made up
of inspired educators who have a passion for
teaching and who work in both public and private
schools. Also, a teacher who wants to leave the
profession and pursue a different line of work.
