Cali Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
Believe it or not I'm always excited to hop on the train after work. Not because I'm going home after a long day, but I get to see the people. I get to experience the diverse cultures that California has to offer. The spanish/rap music playing, kids laughing, teens giggling talking ridiculous loud on their cellphones, and occasionally you can hear adults arguing here and there through your earphones.

But today, after a devastating lost my Latino counterparts ride home in silence. No smiles. No sense of belonging. You can feel the tension in the air. And you can't help put wonder, what the future would look like for each one of them? What will happen to all the state laws Cali has passed to provide undocumented ppl with healthcare/jobs/schooling

This is largely due to the cost efficiency of catching a flight from a facility such as SeaTac Airport instead of a Canadian airport.

    Adam Frick Man, what world are you living in? So your not seeing the traffic, homelessness, increased crime, and the drug issues in FCUSD? The bigger we get, the more this will increase.

    Impacts Undocumented students repeatedly run into barriers when trying to obtain higher education. Some complications include finding a higher education facility that doesn’t bar undocumented students from being accepted.

On top of the out of state tuition, undocumented students are not eligible for financial aid, grants, scholarships or student loans. This financial assistance could benefit the 39% of undocumented students who live below the federal poverty line (Kim and Diaz, 2013, p. 80).…

    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.…
