Persuasive Speech For School Shootings

Hi everyone. Good afternoon. I’m Jennifer Edwards. It’s good to see all of you. I’m glad you could all make it to this beautiful campus here in Dallas. I want to thank Southern Methodist University for hosting us today. I have a passion for education so being able to speak to you from an institution of higher learning makes me feel right at home.
