Then move into the topic you decided to focus on and tell a story or two that showcases it. For instance, “When I think of my Uncle Pete, I’ll always remember his thoughtfulness and willingness to help others. One time, he was driving me to school when he pulled over to help a family of ducklings cross the street. Another time, he spent seven straight hours shoveling snow from his neighbors’ driveways. Uncle Pete never hesitated to lend a helping hand.”
