Senior Year Persuasive Speech

Senior year is not a walk in the park. There is no time for laziness and no one seems to tell you that. In your senior year you have to finish up graduation required classes, apply to colleges and for scholarships, do your senior project, and in my case manage work, and extra classes. So the easy last year misconception needs to be abolished. If you fall to a case of senioritis you need to wake up.

Everyday I hear a ton of misinformation about college, from applying to just getting in and it’s painful. There is so much unknown by some students that they are hurting themselves and most don’t have help at home.

This time will not have a grade or if a student doesn’t want to use this time for college apps and such, then don’t make them. Let the grade be whether or not they get everything in on time, in real life you either do it or you don’t, it’s a zero or 100, that’s it. By not giving grades and making students aware of their own deadlines creates that sense of
