Priority High School Speech

As a diverse student, in a very low income community I have always been known to standing up for others, as well as for myself. Having this natural drive i found myself taking a huge role in our high school Beta Club. As a natural leader, I was challenged with the opportunity to represent our high school’s Beta Club Chapter while running for North Carolina Beta Secretary. Although I felt experienced as a leader, I was really nervous to get up in front of all of North Carolina and give a speech at the Beta Club convention. Although I was nervous, I opened my mouth, and the words just began to come out. My fears went away, and I addressed everyone on topics of educational improvements and opportunities for all students to succeed. I used this

“Prejudice’s for This Period of Time” A mockingbird, a bird that mimics the actions of other birds, creating a melodious melody. For if you killed this beautiful song bird it would be considered a sin. The innocence that this bird represents is the life of African Americans and other minority groups as they fought and still continue to fight in the society of this bitter sweet world. “ How to Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee showed how these innocent people could be stripped of their innocence in an instant.

Monroe High School is a good school but some of the students act as if they are trying to keep the school’s bad reputation rather than get rid of it. Dozens of Monroe High School students are called each week to make up hours in academic development because the students don’t care or value their education. Students are also called to make up hours because of attendance and so many days missed. These are the students that people from other schools look at to depict a perspective of Monroe High. Even with all the new students getting honor roll, there are still students that will not help change how Monroe will be viewed by others who don’t attend the school. This is why Monroe High School is still a low performing school. This requires the school to do extra to show the board of education we are trying to improve our scores. The students that do care about their education are canceled out by students that are just there to get their high school diploma so they can get get a job that will only be enough to pay their bills. The growth and progression of Monroe High has increased at a steady rate the past couple of years but the mindset of the students must change to change the whole

It’s Friday night the timer is ticking the whole school cheering for your team, your body aching and exhausted from pep rallies all day. The lights glistening. There are three seconds left you make the winning touchdown and you score. You won the championship for your team. Do you want all of these memorable times taken away? Schools need to invest into their sports programs like never before. Schools should not get rid of sports because sports relieve stress, they improve physical and academic health, and kids can afford school sports since club sports are more

As the students on the football field are working on passes and touchdowns, they are wearing tattered old jerseys. With their worndown helmets, the coach is complaining about the bad conditions the players are going through. Yet, the school would not recognize the remarks and decides to keep on going. The article, “Yes! It’s Time to Scale Back,” by Amanda Ripley, shares the idea that schools should not have sports teams. On the contrary, “No! Sports Are More Important Than Ever,” by Tim O'Shei explains that school sports should continue and even recommended to attend to.

First, when adding an extra school sport, that means that kids will look forward to coming to school every day because they know that they will have a fun time at their practice or game that day. As Skylar S. stated , “ Going to school is like going to the library and reading for seven hours….BORING. Now if schools had more sports teams it would make school more fun because it gives kids something to look forward to for after school. “ (S.Skylar, Middle School Sports) She is basically displaying how most kids don’t enjoy school as much as their teachers and parents might think. But this is a way for kids to go to school and enjoy what they love doing:

Children in our school grades will be affected by they will not want to pay attention in the classrooms because they may find it boring; being in sports will give them a drive to pay attention even if they find it boring because they will want to get grades and be better than what they were before in order to be able to participate in athletics. The school will benefit from keeping these programs by if the students are getting grades and they continue to get better, the schools rating will increase; thus, this will attract more students to the school. The more students the school attracts then the more funds the school will have which then will fix our financial problem.

I feel ambivalent as this year comes to a close. To quote Mr. Fouts, “The end of this year just doesn't feel right”. Eighth grade went by far too fast, perhaps because the year went particularly well for me. In this year of my nine so far in school, I felt bonded with my peers like no year before. With the people I met I collected many memories and Good Riddance by Green Day is made up of lyrics singing about just that. The phrase “good riddance” is generally used to say goodbye to something rather troublesome, which is not how I perceive this year, I believe the song has a relative meaning. This alternative rock song has been played in my house for years, but I never acknowledged the fact that one day I may relate to it. Eighth grade brought life lessons along with educational lessons, the three being value of friendship, living more, and acceptance.
