Step 2: Write Your Speech.

Speech Final Draft
Hello, my fellow graduates! I’m Kyle Kuehn, and just like you, I will be a high school graduate in May. One of the things I’m most excited about is being able to vote for the first time. Young people like us have always been passionate, always been passionate about making our voices heard. Some of you out there may have political aspirations; some of you may already have chosen a political party; and some of you couldn't care less about politics.
We've all heard it before. Your vote counts. It's more true now than ever. Young adults like us are energized. We want to create social change. It may sound far-fetched, but it’s not. I believe young people have the power to change this country. We are part of a movement and a large voting block. I believe that the recent pandemic and other national and global issues have made us realize that politics impacts our everyday lives.
Is politics bitter? Absolutely, it can be. Are politicians crooked? That’s why your vote counts to get rid of these bad apples. What are your concerns? Inflation, racism, abortion rights, climate change, healthcare access, and affordability The high cost of home Unless Otherwise Noted All Content © 2022 Florida Virtual School. FlexPoint Education

ownership. Did you know that with all this going on, young eligible voters are the least likely to be registered to vote compared to other age groups?
One of the big issues with young voters is that they may not understand the issues and feel they are throwing their vote away. Nearly a third of young, eligible people who did not vote in 2022 said either they didn’t have enough information about the candidates or didn't know where to vote.
That’s hard to believe. I mean, in today's tech-savvy world, with a computer in your pocket, you could not find your polling place. Really? You don't know enough about the candidates. I would argue that with platforms like TikTok, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and Snapchat, one might find it harder to escape day-to-day political news and relevant issues.
Before the 2020 election, less than one million teens out of eight million 16- to 17-year-
olds were pre-registered to vote. That all changed later in 2020, in the midterm elections, when young people had a major impact, turning out in near-record numbers and deciding key races.
The presidential vote is only 1 ½ years away. 2024 will decide our new president. That’s where we come in. Cast your vote and be heard, people. Voting is a fundamental act of civic participation through which we, as young people, contribute to this democracy. Democracy is based on the conviction that we, as ordinary people, can do extraordinary Unless Otherwise Noted All Content © 2022 Florida Virtual School. FlexPoint Education

things. Voting is an expression of ourselves, of one another, and of our country. Your vote counts in every possible election, regardless of whether it is local, state, or federal. Thank you and go pre-register. God bless.
Step 3: Record Your Speech.
