High School Persuasive Speech

Superintendent Prebles, community residents, and members of the Forest Hills school board: For the past eleven years, I have attended this lovely school district, starting as a kindergartener at Sherwood Elementary, becoming a middle schooler at Nagel, and finally joining Turpin to complete my final four years. You have all worked tirelessly to create a fun, welcoming, and informative environment where all students can finally achieve success. However, even though you have accomplished much, there is always more work to do. When I first started kindergarten, the curriculum, workload, and, most importantly, the starting and ending time was simple and relaxed. As I moved to first grade, nothing much changed. The day might have gotten longer,
With my words, let me fire an arrow of truth that should strike a fire in the hearts of all those who wish to find peace through sleep. However, those who have found that peace, should they resort to the habit of turning a blind eye on all those who have not yet achieved it?

We struggle through every day, trying to eventually make our way to our beds every night. Those of you currently content may say that there are plenty of hours in the day, that there is time enough to spend 8 hours sleep, 8 hours learning, and 8 hours of homework. The satisfied may say that the reason we are all so tired is because we waste our time on frivolous things such as Snapchat and movies, and music. But we do so much more. We have jobs, and sports, and other activities, such as chorus, which makes life worth living. Nothing that we do is necessary, for life, but it is necessary for us to keep our sanity. With everything we do, excessive amounts of homework and over extended school hours become too much. We all have lives outside of work, Superintendent Prebles, but the long, never ending burden of school seems to be working its way into our lives, and with that, our sleeping time. Do not allow the community to
