Debate Competition

Please, I’m completely at loss for ideas. My speech is asserting that the mother’s influence on you as a child doesn’t fade throughout your life. I’m 3rd speaker, so need a good beginning to wake up the audience and it needs to be relative to my main point. This is really important, so please answer (thumbs up for every answer). I pick best answer in 3 hours time. Thanks in advance for every answer.

Life, love and nurture…
