My suggestion - follow the story curve, tell a story about yourself!

1. Exposition
   Start with a compelling introduction. Say who you are and hint at what you’re trying to achieve.
2. Break the routine
   Talk about a personal moment in your life – an incident that changed everything.
3. Challenges
   Talk about your challenges, mini victories, and then more challenges.
4. Climax
   Let your conflict show – talk about what has always stopped you from achieving your goals and how you finally overcame (or want to overcome) that hurdle.
5. New routine
   Talk about the future you imagine for yourself and share the new routine you’ve always dreamed of having. Bring out how much contrast there is between your old and your new routines.
