When I started watching the video before she started talking, I thought Mary looked like she was from a family that has money. My perception of Mary Fischer didn’t change, I did how ever feel some empathy towards her and her family. At the same time felt respect for her to be open and her willingness to help others. While listening to Mary Fischer speak I used Comprehension listening. When she spoke I understood the words she was saying. She has a cause and fully believes in it. She wants a cure to be found to help other and if possible for herself. She is aware of what the outcome could be for her and her children. I relate to her because I have beliefs and a cause that I would stand up for and not backdown or be intimidated by anyone.
