Reaction of a Presentation

One of the five presentations today was made by Alex Meregaglia. He volunteered to present first. The non-profit organization he chose was Goodwill Industries. He explained to the class how Goodwill has helped the poor by getting them employed and by helping them stay employed.

Alex used many statistics and facts to help back up his argument. I found the fact that every 56 seconds, Goodwill helps someone get a job interesting. One of his rebuttals was that citizens do not have that much money to donate to Goodwill. He refuted this point well because he told how instead of giving money you could help by donating old clothes, furniture, cars, and other items. Alex also told a success story due to the help of Goodwill.

I liked how Alex moved from the podium, to the front of the room, and back to the podium. I thought he sounded somewhat like an actual Goodwill rep. His conclusion was catching when he said, “Goodwill. Good cause”. Overall, I think Alex did a nice job presenting Goodwill and I could tell he prepared for his speech.
