An Effective Proposa Argument

The most effective proposal argument that I have heard was when I was given a flyer from my professor at the university in the town I live in. It was regarding your children and their education funding. It is sad to say but I never stopped to think about my children’s future regarding their education up to this point. I have always stressed to them the importance of an education and the need for it but I never stopped to think about the financial aspect of it. The flyer was produced in a way that not only caught my attention (I usually throw flyers in the trash) but kept my attention as well. The front portion had a boy and a girl that appeared to be the same age as my two children and they were both reading books, which both of my babies love to do. The headline read, CHILDREN NEED PARENTS THAT CARE. That also caught my eye so I began to read the information provided in the flyer. The creator of this flyer insinuated that if you cared for your child/children at all then you would start financing for their education beyond high school before they even started school and in some cases, before they are even born. In today’s economy, it is hard enough to pay your bills much less think about saving money for your child that may or may not even continue their education beyond high school. But, as I began to read and relate to the information in the flyer, I began to really thing about my children’s future. And the more I read, the more I thought. The more I thought, the more excited I got about their lives with an education and I made a promise right then and there that no matter what bills or expenses I had, secondary to a roof over our head and food on the table, is the future of my children’s education. I called the contact person listed on the flyer and set up an appointment to enlighten my knowledge of college saving funds and I am very glad I did. I opened both of my children accounts for college and the money that goes in to their accounts are taken out of my check before I even see it, so in a sense, I don’t even know it is gone. The author of the flyer caught my attention, enthralled me to further read and then persuaded me to take action.
