Stay in School, Persuasive Essay

Topics: High school, College, Middle school Pages: 3 (942 words) Published: October 25, 2008
To make good money as an adult, you must have a good job. To have a good job, you must get a good education and go to college. To go to college, you have to go to high school and elementary school. If you drop out or don’t go to school at all, you’ll go nowhere. Life today, money is everything, and I think that the foundation of getting a good job is the education you get in the first 20-25 years of your life. School does not only teach subjects like English, Math, History, or Science, but it also lets us meet new people and build good character. Stay in school, because it will help you meet new people, build good character, and will also get you to a job that you will love.

A lot of jobs in today’s society require you to talk to and meet new people. For example, if you are a teacher, you need to learn how to talk clearly to a classroom full of students. Starting at a young age of about 7 or 8 years old to talk to other pupils in your class will help you build confidence to speak up later in life. Another example would be a business networker. Business networkers have to talk to a lot of people in order to be successful in their job or jobs. Going to college is where you usually meet a lot of new people. It’s a good place to practice socializing and going up to people you don’t know and get to know them. It is still possible to this without an education, but since you do need a degree to find a good job that you enjoy, you should just go through the process of college education and at the same time, meet new people.

Building good character is important during your junior high and high school years because that’s what employers look for when hiring people. For example, if you want to look for a part time job during college, you usually have to go through an interview. A couple things that employers look for is if you are responsible and trustworthy. Aspects of responsibility that you naturally do in elementary, middle school, and high school...

  • Persuasive Essay: Sexual Education in Public Schools

    ...Your Name Professor Course Date The Role of Public Schools in Sexual Education Should sexual education be taught in public schools? There have been several debates over this topic. The media has sensationalized sex and desensitized our youth from the consequences that can occur from engaging in sexual activity. Gossip such as 'who had sex with who over the weekend or at the latest party’ are the current norm in high schools, middle schools, and in some cases, even elementary schools. With the rise of sexually transmitted diseases and the fact that more adolescents are becoming sexually active, sexual education is imperative and the issue needs to be properly addressed and not ignored. Adolescents not only need to make decisions regarding their sexuality but also need to be aware of the repercussions that might go along with the decisions they choose. The role of our public education system should be to implement sexual education programs that provide students with information on how to protect themselves if they choose to become sexually active but also offer students the opportunity to ask questions and get facts, without the embarrassment of talking with their own parents or peers.  Sex education in public schools should involve all aspects of protective measures regarding sex and our youth, including contraceptives as well as abstinence. No matter how abstinence is emphasized,...

  • School uniform persuasive essay

    ... School Uniforms: Agree or not? Uniforms are globally used at schools around the world, especially schools in Asia. In Asia, the policy of wearing uniform enforces strongly during school hours and whenever at schools. The policy is enforced because schools want to teach discipline to their students and prevent unanticipated troubles at school. The policy of school uniforms is not completely implemented in the United States, especially public schools. According to the US Department of Education, only about 23 percent private and public schools in the United States have a uniform policy (School Uniform Statistics 1). In Asia, almost all of public and private schools strictly enforce the policy. In my country, Indonesia, all of students have to wear uniforms to schools, but there is distinct different between public and private schools. Private schools usually have many types of uniforms, and most of them are fancy. Almost all of public schools in Indonesia have similar types of school uniforms. In primary school, the students have to wear white shirts and red shorts or skirts. The students in middle school have to wear white shirts and dark blue shorts or skirts.

  • School Uniforms Persuasive Essay

    ... Today, many schools around the world enforce uniforms, requiring students to wear specific clothing. School uniforms, which was first established in 16th century England, are a topic of much debate in the public school system of the United States. Many people feel that uniforms reduce competition among students and bring a sense of unity in school. People who are against school uniforms think that they prevent students from expressing themselves and inhibits creativity. Many students dislike school uniforms because uniforms can be viewed as a violation of their rights, while others benefit from uniforms because it relieves the stress of picking what to wear to school. Although school uniforms do have its benefits, they also limit self-expression. School uniforms are said to create a sense of equality among students. With every student wearing the same clothing, there are less indicators of wealth between what people wear, so less students are bullied for the clothes they wear. While that may be true for some, bullies don’t always make fun of their targets based on their clothing. There are many other aspects of people that are unaffected by uniforms ,which, bullies can use to bully them. It might be their hair or skin color, or the culture they’re from that causes the bullying. For example, students might get made fun of because of their...

  • Gay marriage persuasive essay

    ...Gay Marriage in the United States The debate between whether gay marriage should be legalized or not has been a controversial topic recently. In the past twelve years, equal marriage rights have been legalized in 6 states of the U.S.. Eighteen states do not allow gay marriage and do not recognize civil unions. The other twenty six states allow civil unions, and some are debating legalizing gay marriage. Gay marriage should be legal across the United States. Not allowing gay marriage in any state is unconstitutional. If one state is to allow gay marriage, then the people that get married in that state are supposed to be legally married in all other states of the United States (Hertz). The constitution states, in article 5, that anything that a person performs in one state legally cannot be prosecuted if that person were to move to another state where it is not legal. Meaning that all of the gay marriages that take place in states where it is legal, are supposed to be legal everywhere else in the United States. Many of the arguments against gay marriage are religious, and religion and state are supposed to be separated in the United States (Waldman). The United States is supposed to be run based off of human rights and what works for the government. Many government officials try to run the government based on their religious beliefs, when the officials religious belief should not be taken into consideration on the judgement of gay marriage.

  • Romeo and Juliet Persuasive Essay

    ...Colby James Mrs. Bates English May 2015 Romeo & Juliet Essay The cause of Romeo and Juliet’s morbid demise in The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare is a combination of a few different things. Maybe if it had been only one thing working against them, they would have survived. But alas, they ended up dying next to each other. Ultimately, Romeo and Juliet’s deaths were their own fault. The deaths of Romeo and Juliet in this tragic play truly do pluck at the strings of the heart. As the play goes from start to finish, a bond is formed between the audience and the young couple: nothing but luck and happiness are wished for them. No one wishes for anything bad or awful to them, just the opposite. That is the way William Shakespeare chose to write it, in a way that truly draws in the audience and makes them feel as if they are a part of the story. It could be argued that their deaths were caused by a combination of different things that worked to destroy their relationship. In the end; their deaths were caused by their own love and foolishness. There are many others who also believe this. An example from a document on this same topic says “These two are too quickly married and do not think of the consequences of their actions. Adolescent passion fools both Romeo and Juliet into believing that their love can transcend their families’ strife and the rules of patriarchal Verona.” (Document B: The foolish passion of Romeo and Juliet). Teenagers are...

You decide. Recycling is the act of collecting, separating and recreating used materials into new products. Not everyone recycles for various reasons, either they are too lazy or they just don’t care about the environment. “United States recycles about thirty-two percent of its waste today” ("Recycling Statistics”).
