High School Persuasive Speech

Improved Essays
Coming into a school with a campus this large can be quite scary can it? You've probably have already gotten lost, but if you haven't, trust me when I say, you will. You will think you are going in the right direction, then you will realize that you have seen those same set of stairs at least 3 times. You feel like everyone is looking down on you and everyone is against you, except your friends and some of your fellow sophomores. The first few weeks are always the hardest, but by the end of the year, you will be wondering why you were ever scared in the first place.
On your first week, try to make a routine on how to get to each of your classes. Find out all the turns you have to make and which halls you go through to be prompt to your classes. Stick to that same routine until you feel brave enough to be crazy and venture into the unknown hallways. Hopefully by the end of the first couple of weeks, you know exactly how to get to class and not get lost on the way, because teachers will eventually have to stop taking the “sorry, I got lost” excuse.

They deal with over a hundred of high school students everyday, so they are allowed to be stressed as well. If you end up getting a teacher who, in your opinion, is never nice, the best thing for you to do, is get on their good side. For example, listen in class, work hard, and get your work done, the last thing you want to do is have a hard time with a teacher for the whole year. But honestly you should probably do all this for all your classes with or without a bad teacher. If you have an EOI for that class, do everything you can to make sure you pass the EOI, but if you do not pass, try not to be too hard on yourself. There are teachers and counselors who are there to help and can help you get ready if you need to take it

    My older brother attended Tevis years before I had and he told me it would be easy, and I shouldn’t worry. When I actually reached 7th grade, I was very hesitant to try new things and meet some people. I ended up being fine and joined a small group of people that made me feel accepted in this large school full of kids. Most classes were very simple and easy to understand but, I would say the most difficult class I had was my 7th grade…

    Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

We are nearing the day of the "coming of our Lord and Savior," which signifies the need to pick-up our pace so that we will finish our earthly race and hear our Lord proclaim, "Well done thou good and faithful servant..."…

    After reviewing my persuasive speech over why the University of Oklahoma is the best university in the nation, I would sum up my speech as a little bit of train wreck. Although I made good claims with factual evidence, the amount of stuttering I did, and all the times I was choked up throughout the speech drew my audience’s attention away. From this, I lost my audience’s belief that I was competent of the information I was reiterating to them. At the introduction of my speech I believe I started out fairly strong and gave a good run down of the coming speech.…

I went through the sign in process and went up to my “room” for the next year.…
