Persuasive Speech

As a student athlete I experience firsthand what it’s like to balance school and sport and though it is hard work, I wouldn’t be doing it if I didn’t love it. I’ve talked a lot about the disadvantages of being a student athlete, but there are a great deal of advantages as well.

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

There are several up and downsides of being a student athlete but, the feeling of being apart of a team and doing something you love is the ultimate reward. According to the NCAA, “More than 460,000 NCAA student-athletes – more than ever before – compete in 24 sports every year” (“Student-Athletes”). Being a student athlete you learn how to be a part of a team as well as developing leadership qualities. Throughout your entire high school and or college athletic career, you’re creating everlasting friendships and memories with teammates and coaches. Being a student-athlete, your main priority is school but, with a busy and jammed packed schedule it can get a little overwhelming. With a busy schedule, student athletes have no choice other than to manage their time wisely. Along with learning time efficiency, participating in sport teaches you to be goal oriented. When you’re involved in sports, you push yourself physically and emotionally. You begin to set goals to better not only for yourself, but to better your team as well. Ultimately, there are several benefits of

AW: Speaking of the new project: when we told our viewers that we would be speaking with you many of the fans BEGGED us to get more details on an upcoming rock project. They want to know basically anything you can throw at us. Do you have a release timeframe in mind? A single in the works?

Persuasive speech outline purpose: To persuade my audience to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Introduction:

When most students think of the weekend, they think about sleeping in until noon and relaxing all day whether it be at the beach or just at home. Being an athlete, however, weekends are the exact opposite of sleeping in and having leisure time. Weekends for me usually start by being jolted awake by the sound of my alarm clock at five-thirty in the morning so I can begin packing my backpack with the things necessary for spending the entire day at a sports park. This may seem unpleasant and difficult to do, but when you simply love what you're doing, you learn focus on the positives rather than the negatives. Although I’ve been a multiple sport athlete from a young age, I didn't pick up on this positive mentality until my junior year in high

It was October 6, 1998 when he was lured from the bar that cold, fateful night. His skull was smashed with a pistol butt as he was lashed to a fence, left for dead in near freezing temperatures. Nearly eighteen hours later he was found by passersby and taken to a hospital where we remained in a coma for several days until slowly slipping away. At his funeral, picketers carried signs saying, "God Hates Fags" and *Fags Deserve to Die."

Have you served in a war? Has your father or mother served in a war? How about your grandpa? As we honor those who have served we typically do so by standing for the pledge of allegiance or star spangled banner. We say thank you to our war heroes or we go and visit them and listen to their stories. In this paper I will be discussing why NFL players should not be allowed to kneel for the flag. Although the NFL players have the right to peacefully protest, they should find a different way than kneeling as it shows disrespect towards the flag also active duty military and veterans, it teaches young children this behavior is okay, what they are protesting has nothing to do with the flag and there are many different ways to get their message out.

Two of our fellow seniors, Curtis Robinson and Sumayyah Singletary, have taken the initiative to plan an unofficial class trip. The following is a message from them:

C. As long as schooling increases the marginal return to work more than crime and schooling does not decrease patience levels or increase risk aversion.

Students at Palmyra Area High School should not be allowed to display information supporting the display of the Confederate Flag in the atrium. The flag is seen as a controversial symbol, and can allow disruption to happen throughout the school. Supporting the flag is seen as a something throughout heritage, however, the flag can also be seen as racist. Throughout school hours, the school has the privilege to monitor the student's free speech, attempting to make the school a place that all the students want to be.

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

For generations, the world has struggled tremendously with pollution which makes society wonder if they will be able to recover from the everlasting effects of contamination. “The Obligation to Endure” by Rachel Carson illustrates an informative stance on the topic of pollution in order to expose humans for being the main source of polluting the Earth. Carson talks about the many accidents from pesticide that cause pollution and how they are irreversible. In contrast, a Natural Defense Resources Council article by John Walke named “Trump EPA’s Scientific Fraud on Deadly Air Pollution” explains how President Donald Trump has reported to revoke the Clean Power Plan which was first introduced during Barack Obama’s presidency in 2015. This biased article shows how beneficial the Clean Power Plan is for the nation and how wrongful Trump is for thinking this is the right choice. Wilke uses logos, pathos, and an urgent tone to point out the reasons why the Clean Power Plan is important to the United States. Likewise, Carson also uses logos and pathos in her article, but she uses a reflective tone to draw attention to the major reason for pollution: humans.

festivities you have not been worthy to me or these children you deserve nothing.(Adrian)”we deserve everything this world could possibly give us but you,you deserve nothing for treating us this way,you old rag”.(The lady)children leave the room now, while i deal with these selfish teens”.so all the kids leave the room until it's just the lady and the five of them.

   It's funny the things that imprint on our brain, as opposed to the things that don't.  You would think that the important stuff would stick in our heads and the unimportant stuff would not. Yet it seems to be the exact opposite.  For instance I can't remember a single thing, not a single thing from my High School Algebra class. But I can tell you I saw Chris Hammond of the Reds pick up a win against Dwight Gooden in 1992. Then again, perhaps sit just we designate what we think is important nad that's what we remember.
