Grade 7 Persuasive Speech

Do you want to enjoy your final year of elementary school, because this is our last year before we enter the phase of high school. Grade 8 is finally here, I have been waiting for this for such a long time. This is going to be the year I will enjoy the absolute most. I am going to tell you how field trips, being the oldest at the school, and graduation, are an advantage of being a grade 8 student.

When we are in grade 8, we go on many field trips, including an overnight trip to Ottawa and also to a Toronto Raptors game. The difference between this game and last years game was that first that it is a different sport and this year the teams are professionals, and the Marlies were in the AHL. Personally, I love field trips, and going to Ottawa will allow me to explore a city I have never been to been to in my life before. I love to travel, and since I

have already been to Montreal, I was hoping that we would get to go to Ottawa, and we are. So, I super excited about going to Ottawa and to have a three day overnight trip, which I have never done before. When we go on a field trip, I can develop a passion for something I may not have liked ever before. For example, when we went to Snow Valley for skiing, I started to enjoy skiing much more than before. Or when we went to Cirque Du Soleil, before I hated circus', but I was really impressed by their performance, and now I really like them now. Also, and last but not least, I can make new friends. For example, if we're going on a trip and see that somebody I don't really talk to, shares the same talent that I have, then we could become friends. So, this is how going on trips can be a big advantage to being in grade 8.

After 10 years of waiting, we are finally at the top, the oldest at school now.

There are many and countless benefits to being at the top, here are some of them. Since we're the oldest a Blessed Trinity now, there's nobody around to annoy and ruin our soccer, basketball game, or whatever. This is our last year here at BT. After 10 long years, it almost became like our second home. Now, because we are the oldest, we get to do many different things than before such as, much more field trips, doing the passion play, graduation, and confirmation. Being here means that we are literally one step away from entering high school, which I am both excited and nervous about. This year will allow me to make new friends, and I once heard that the friends you make now, will stick by your side forever, nevertheless, I still have to choose the right and good friends who will not peer pressure you into doing anything you do not want to do. We get much more freedom and a lot more responsibility now, but we should not take advantage and abuse it. In conclusion, this is how being at the top can be a huge

advantage.

Finally, I honestly cannot even wait for graduation. First of all after graduation, we should get ready to move on to the next phase of our lives which is high school and get ready to be the youngest and at the bottom once again. For graduation, we get to have a big party, and believe me, I love parties. Graduation also means that it is the end of the year and the beginning of summer vacation. It means that we are growing up and starting to get much more mature. Plus this is going to be our real graduation, and most people probably do not even remember their S.K. graduation. Plus, maybe for once I could actually get a good picture, because in every single one of them, I look really bad.

So, what is it? The awesome trips? Being the oldest? Graduation? All of them are important and the most exciting advantages to being in grade 8. So, in my opinion, I am sure that this is going to be the best year ever. Do you like being a grade 8 student?
