Senior Year Speech

Decent Essays
Senior year: The last year of school. Students are excited and have a lot of work to, especially if they haven’t yet served their 24 hours of volunteering. Seniors are rushing to study and complete their work, as well as combing through colleges. They need every minute they have to do their work, making community service even more of an unnecessary and unwanted time waster. As much as we hate it, Community service can have some perks. On page 107 paragraph two, it quotes "Participating in volunteer work can help students to schedule their time and learn to juggle responsibilities." But believe it or not, high school kids aren't circus performers and have no need for juggling.

    Community service is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I myself had an internal groan when I heard that community service was required and would be set as a grade. I had only known volunteerism as doing a dull boring task with no discernible reward. But after experiencing it for myself I found it quite the contrary. Volunteering is a way to meet new people and witness a group working toward a greater cause.…

    I like the spirit of Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech has an energetic spirit that cannot be compared to others. I can see the power of it in the convocation speech during which theme music was played; Georgia Tech possesses intensity as high as bee’s stinks. Georgia Tech has a practical spirit. Not being imprisoned in antediluvian matters, the school focuses on actual power of engineering.…

    Many of the organizations that I am involved in, including FFA, 4-H, and LYO, take part in several service projects throughout the year. As a result, I have been involved in multiple community service activities over the course of my high school career, such as taking a week-long mission trip to Nashville, Tennessee this past summer, or just spending an evening during the holiday season Christmas caroling around town. Although some people aren't always willing to give up their time to help others, I believe that an essential aspect of being a member of a community is being willing and able to devote your time to helping others. It helps you develop positive relationships, and it lets the people you're helping know that there are places they can turn to for support. It helps you build up your responsibility, reliability, and work ethic, and it provides community members with a chance to establish lasting connections with one another.…

    “Teenagers volunteering rate has increased significantly over the last 30 years, teenagers continue to be primarily interested in episodic volunteering (contributing 99 or fewer hours a year). Today, 67.9 percent of teenagers are episodic volunteers.” The school is adapting a new policy that will require all students to complete 100 hours of community service as a graduation requirement. They are going to ask the students for their input on this policy and see what they will decide. It is absolutely fine that students will be asked to do community service in order to graduate from high…

    Declaration Preamble When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for students to speak up and take action against the unfair treatment we receive from adults we must stand up and declare that adults are supposed to be our leaders, the people we look up too, the ones that guide us on the right path as well as the people that are supposed to support us with our decision. But how are they supposed to do this when they do not appreciate us and do not try to understand us. Statement of Beliefs Many adults do in fact set great examples for the young adults of this century, but from recent and past experiences these same adults have failed to lead us as well as appreciate us. We believe that adults should take the time to try and understand…

    Community service is voluntary work intended to help people in a particular area of expertise. High schools across the United States have begun to incorporate community service hours into their graduation requirements. Community service comes in many forms, from preparing houses to tutoring younger students. I support adding that requirement to graduate. Community service doesn’t just have to be a punishment, when we are younger and capable we should try to volunteer a certain amount of hours to others.…

    Year-Round School Speech

    Speech for Year-Round School Do students feel bored by the end of their 3 month long summer? As a student I feel like a kid that has no school skills when I come back from summer break. This is why teachers take longer on the first few units because kids have forgotten the skills they needed for the next level education. I think Year-Round school would be more beneficial because it would solve kid’s problems of forgetting skills they need for the next level of education. If Year-Round school does become enforced I think kids K-12 should have to go year-round.…
