College Persuasive Speech

It was another scorching day. Not only were the players dripping sweat, but the fans in the stands as well. The announcer came on the loudspeakers and welcomed us onto our rivals field.

Happy New Year! I'm sorry for not touching base with you sooner. I've recently completed finals with Liberty University a week ago. Unfortunately, I never received your email regarding the sample lessons. However, if it's not a problem, is there a way you can resubmit it to me?

“Who is Frank Fitzgerald?” said Josh. “It says right here that Frank Fitzgerald was an

Trump nomination has me eating crow. There's a lot of things I can easily point out to that might of cause Hillary chance of winning. But the damn Electrola College is a complete BS. Al Gore lost to President Bush in 2000 with the popular vote, the same way Hillary lost to Trump. Essentially every vote doesn't count. That's completely asinine! Democrats lost the House, Senate, White House and apparently the Supreme Court. Yup! we are in herd of trouble.........

“YAY!” my team rejoiced. The other team were very sportsmanship like because they happily said “gg” to

Then Aidan said, ¨that catch Kyle made in the last inning for the game winning homerun was pretty cool.¨

I grew up in a quaint yet homely apartment that had paint chipping off its walls and a musty, mold smell that permeated the air in a downtown Brooklyn neighbourhood where the stench of sewage was a daily occurrence and it was unremarkable to witness two asian grandmas up at each other’s throats. I wasn’t raised in the happiest and privileged place in the world yet I didn’t let my adversities throw me down to the ground. I appreciate that Columbia is like a plane. It contains people of all walks in life and educational backgrounds, but what matters most is not where we from, it is that we are all reaching the same destination, the destination where we all become open minded, educated adults.

When I was in middle school, I ran track—specifically, the 1500 meter event. Every meet, I got last place. But I still received a ribbon—the same size, albeit not the color blue—of the first-place winner. As a kid who didn’t really care about sports, I was never too upset over getting last—after all, someone had to. But I was always baffled by the fact that despite putting in minimal effort, I was still earning ribbons. To me, participating isn’t an achievement, and nobody deserves a trophy for it—I assumed people participated for the enjoyment. I ran track, not for the ribbons, but because I loved running. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve come to understand that everyone does not hold the same philosophies as I. Over the past four

With the classic top-down, the kids are joking, passing the marijuana joints around and drowning their senses with beer, completely unconcerned that everyone can see them. To the people passing, it looks like a bunch of delinquent high school kids on drugs out looking for trouble. None of them the least bit concerned that at any given moment, a simple phone call to local law enforcement and their little party is over, and instead of heading to a festivity, accompanied to jail.

I am writing to you in hopes that I could make you look deeply into the importance of free college. I strongly believe that free college should be provided for all citizens no matter their race. Free college should be supported by our government. In the United States ,many young tennagers stop chasing their drean because college is very expensive and they cannot afford the price that is required to pay so they can get an career and be educated.

Shawn and I were getting ready to go to the teen choice awards. Shawn was wearing a grey shirt withhold black jeans and black vans. I was wearing a black tight short dress that went to the middle of my thighs and black 3 inch heels." Y/N are you ready to go Andrew and my dad are almost here" Shawn asked." Ya almost ready just finishing up my makeup". " I told you you don't have to were makeup your beautiful without it" Shawn told me. " I promise it's a lot but of makeup". I know I told Shawn it was a little but it's not. I walked out of the hotel bathroom to find Shawn, Manny, John and Andrew on the couch talking about what the plans about for tonight since it's the award show then Shawn has to perform at the Greek theatre right after." Hi Y/N. how are you?" Andrew asks. "excited! What about you?". "Good, thanks for asking" Andrew responds. " Hi Manny, how are you ?". " good thanks you" Manny

Instead of griping and moaning about what place they don't want to be in, they'd need to put in more work and commit themselves to something they desire. Yes, if you want to take home the trophy then you'd need to TAKE and OWN the stage. That's with anything you are determined to obtain- from a career to a prized goal. No, I am not saying that every target will be reached, but being opportunistic will take you a long way in one's lifetime. Starting with recycling programs, helping around the school, and putting on a show for different areas of then community like American Airlines, we built a bond.

For example, using a leftover coffee can for loose nails or screws, or even washing and reusing a plastic zip-loc bag instead of throwing it in the garbage. Thrift shopping is a way of reusing someone else’s unwanted goods. As I spoke about in an earlier speech about thrifting, I included many locations and ways to thrift, also the benefits to the shopper and the donator. One place in particular was shopping at the local boys and girls club. I personally shop there, keeping my eyes open for a good deal. For example, the pair of jeans that I am wearing today was purchased from this store just a few months ago. I paid only $8.00 for this pair of Lucky Jeans and according to buckle.com, a retailer for lucky jeans the retail price is $99.00 that is a savings to me of $91.00.I am not the type to worry about name brands, but quality usually does cost more. If I can get a quality pair of jeans at a fraction on the price, I am glad to shop at the thrift store. I am thankful to the person that made the donation of the lucky jeans and they can benefit from that donation. According to the IRS webpage, IRS. Gov it explains that an individual can donate items like clothing, household furniture and furnishings, a car or boat, even taxidermy. The donations are appraised, by the donator, and recorded. At the time of filing taxes if the donation equals at least $500 for the year, the donator may take advantage of the

“Ready, Set, Go!” The loud gun shot rang in my ears as I pushed forward and ahead of the crowd. It wasn’t easy for me to be able to run like this.

What could a 10 year old possibly be worrying about? When I was 10 years old, my largest and most terrifying concern was that I broke my yellow crayon and that I would be labeled as the girl who had to take the walk of shame to the back of classroom to get an old, used yellow crayon from the community set. What a concept? The extent of social pressure that was forced on me was my crayon credibility and even then my friends didn’t feel the need to shun me for my shameful misconduct. More and more often, children are expected to endure an unnatural process as early as fourth grade and extending beyond their college years. While it is not ideal and obviously detrimental to the development of children and their concepts of social acceptance, this concept is all but surprising just as is the result, but the epidemic is only worsened by the lack of understanding of the situation. For all we know, it might mean the death of a basic human desire. But, what is it that we have all overlooked or underestimated? What “concept” could possibly be our downfall. It is simple, yet influential. Increasing rare, yet less and less sought after. And in the end, it is a master of imitation, masked as other qualities that lead us astray, away from our goal, away from our happiness. It is what everyone wants and yet no one can identify as exactly what it is, genuine human connection.
