This topic is relevant to audiences in their twenties and thirties, Ken makes his main statement to the audience when he states: Our education systems need to be better adapted the student's needs, rather than the student taking care of the system. When Ken spoke, the audience's reactions were like children on Christmas Day, they were very receptive to what he said. He used a personal story to promote their interest in his topic. He told the story of a firefighter he met at the bookstore. The firefighter talked about how when he was in high school his teacher told him he should be something rather than a firefighter, the teacher made fun of his student. Six months after the student became a firefighter, he ended up saving his teacher's life. Children have ideals and we should be careful to tread lightly on them
