Alarm Clock Persuasive Speech
Shake. Buzz. Shake. Rattle. Morning wake up call. It's early Monday morning, six o'clock. The bus comes at seven, so I have an hour. Eh... I hit my vibrating pillow's remote's snooze. I mean, what's the point of a sounding alarm clock if you're not going to hear it? So, yes, my alarm clock is a pillow that vibrates beneath my head. Of course, since no noise can disturb me overnight, I'm a deep sleeper. This means that the vibrations need to be at high, despite my advanced touch awareness. I think that's the ropes. I have a remote that is connected to my 200 dollar pillow, that startles me to wake up. Just five more minutes, and then I'll get up. Deaf teens have the same struggle as you ya' know. Zzzzzzz... Okay, so maybe I didn't feel my alarm? I slept in. Again. I now have thirty minutes to brush my brown hair, eat stale cereal, and find a decent outfit. Ughhh. I can't even wake mom up because she almost never gets any sleep with a 8 1/2 month-old baby, so if she's sleeping, let her sleep. As I'm getting out of bed, I stare at my …show more content…
Another topic... Bullying is unfortunately common in most of all schools: noticed or not. Every school tries their best to decrease it, but it sometimes it goes unnoticed. It's hard to get rid of bullies. They aren't going to want to admit that they're causing insecurity in another person. The bully itself might've been bullied, or has some other story behind the issue. Everybody has weaknesses. Some people hide them by criticizing others. Being deaf, people think it's acceptable to call me names or talk behind my back. I have more than one person to support me. They defend me and tell me of the criticizers. It's definitely an obstacle. I get so insecure and unconfident. I don't need people to tell me of my flaws that I already know of. I don't need a reminder like how my phone reminds me to charge it. I'm like you. I have words to say. I have talents. I have something that you don't have, and thats gratitude and

    It was 1 am and I was busy playing Severing Dragons, a recently released MMORTS, when the phone rang. Of course, I really didn’t want to get up. I had just begun a new match and forfeiting would cost me 40 human souls and lower my ranking. I assumed it was just my parents and although I could just lie and say I was sleeping, they would never believe it. I had a consistent system of sleep at 2:30 am and an afternoon nap in their eyes. It wasn’t far from the truth, but annoying nonetheless.…

    What you sleep on can certainly make all the difference in how you feel the next day. You don't have to take my word for it. You can simply try sleeping on your couch or the floor, and then see if you feel the same the next day. How comfortable you are while you are sleeping can make all the difference. In other words, if you are not comfortable, you will not likely get a good night's sleep.…

    When signing up to be an organ donor you usually think only your major organs will be used; however, something as small as a ligament of yours is used in popular surgeries such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions. When someone tears their ACL they usually have a choice to have an autograft, or use one of their own ligaments, but they can also choose to have an allograft, or take a cadaver’s ligament to repair it. Each has it’s advantages and disadvantages, but I personally think that the better option is the allograft because I think the advantages are better than using your own ligament from another part of your body. The advantages consist of faster operative time, less post-operative pain, and a faster recovery time.…

    think for the better. I have been bullied for many reasons, some I could not figure out way. In every school that I have been in one type or another I have experienced bullying. It might be the fact that I’m tall or that I’m british. Bullying has caused me to lose focus and think some stuff it would be better not to mention. The loss of focusing has caused me in some years to do so bad that it would might of gotten me haled back. The reason why I wasn’t because of my height, thank god for that. Other people have not been so lucky with lack of focusing and other problems. This a big problem what has caused it bullying. Teachers and admin don’t give enough punishments to force bullies to change their behavior, since that bullying continues to be a problem.…

    In middle school, I was bullied for three years, but the worst year of all was my last year. The last year was rough for me because I was bullied constantly, online and in person. As a result, I did not think highly of myself and fell into depression. I felt angry, sad and lonely. I did not have a lot of friends during those three years and needless to say, my experiences were not great. This challenge was significant to me because the girls that bullied me left me with low self-esteem. I thought that after middle school, the bullying, the oppression, and the torment of not being liked would continue. I was wrong, I was not bullied ever again, but my self-esteem never recovered. Thankfully, one of my closest friends always reminds me that I…

    PERSUASIVE SPEECH OUTLINE SAMPLE - MOTIVATED SEQUENCE PATTERN By Fui Oili (with modifications made by S. Pastor) TITLE: Vacation in Hawaii GENERAL PURPOSE: To persuade SPECIFIC PURPOSE (GOAL): To persuade my audience to choose to take a vacation to the neighbor islands before taking a vacation out of the state or country. GENERAL IDEA: Visitors come from all over the world to experience the beauty and adventure of Hawaii. However, many local residents haven’t had the opportunity to experience all that our islands have to offer. Instead of always travelling to the mainland for vacations, Hawaii residents should first experience the uniqueness of vacationing right here on a neighbor island. INTRODUCTION (Attention Step) I. (Attention getter): Over the PA system the agent announced the arrival of United flight 93 arriving from Los Angeles, California. I waited at the baggage claim entrance where I stood there holding my lei and sign with the names of the visitors I was to greet from their flight. As the people started to flow out of the doors I called out, “Mr. and Mrs. Robert Williams”, all the while thinking about what I was going to cook for dinner and wondering what my kids were doing. When the visitors finally arrived, I was quickly brought back to my reality as I greeted each one with a lei and I said, “Aloha, welcome to Kauai.” With excited smiles on their faces they thanked me and told me how excited they were to be in Hawaii and how they couldn’t wait to start their vacation. The thing that really hit me was when they said, “You are so lucky you live in Hawaii!” Immediately I was reminded of how true that statement is. It’s ironic that it took a visitor from another part of the world to remind me that yes, Hawaii is an amazing place to explore, even for those of us who already live here. (Reveal Topic): This morning, I’d like to encourage all of you to seriously consider taking your next vacation on any of our Hawaiian islands instead of travelling out of…
