College Persuasive Speech
Summer is almost over and school is about to start. I can't say that I am happy to go back to school because that means studying for tests, finals and doing homework :( So, for achieving good grades and have a good school year I need to be organized & motivated and today I am sharing with all of you some tips that are helping me with this aspect.

1. Make To-Do Lists. Last school year, I've started to make lists. I write down things I need to accomplish and I try to prioritize by how important they are.

2. Keep an agenda or a planner. It's been almost a year since I've started using a planner. I write in there assignments, upcoming tests, finals, projects, school dates etc. I really like Erin Condren Life Planners or Filofax, but I think

    1. Make to do lists. This is something that I already do to a degree in my personal life, but not as often as I should. I plan on implementing this to help me achieve my educational goals. Lists help organize things by importance and act as a reminder to finish tasks I might leave behind. Personally when I complete tasks on my lists I feel a sense of accomplishment and have more desire to tackle some of the harder tasks on my list. I will begin to implement this time management skill with this class, and carry it over to block 2 through Gateway Community College.…

    Personal Responsibility Rough Draft

    Responsibility, on the personal level will alleviate some of the difficulties I cause with irresponsibleness, which deters my continuing education. Planning ahead is a vital part responsibility. It is the basis for maintaining ones day-to-day activities. Having a schedule and knowing when task are to be complete can relieve the stress of feeling hastened and out of time. “He who fails to plan, plans to fail” is something my father would tell me quite often when I was younger. I have found this out firsthand. Prioritizing ones goals can keep a person from losing track of time and losing focus. I am putting into place a goals calendar. On the Goals Calendar I have inserted the goals I plan to accomplish and by when I plan to accomplish them. Here is an example: Gen/200 by September 17th or Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice by September 15th 2015. As each goal is achieved, it is marked off; if one is not completed, I move it to the top of…

    Imagine that you trained all your life for that special moment of playing in your first NHL game. At the beginning of your first shift in the game suddenly another player’s stick comes up and strikes you in the eye. This incident ends your career.

A recent incident occurred between Philadelphia’s Chris Pronger and Toronto’s Mikhail Grabovski. Furthermore, two years ago a former NHL player Brad May, Gave a speech supporting the use of visors.…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
