OUTLINE AND THESIS

*SHOW ME THE MONEY!! *

INTRODUCTION

THESIS – There is a large amount of college students who feel that the California State budget cuts are affecting them greatly; there are a lot of things that are being taken away from college students due to the budget cuts.

I) Students are now going to have to make the decision as to if it is actually worth it to go to school right now.
a) Schools are having a lot of problems with money,
1) Because of the money issue a lot of classes will be cut.
2) Students will no longer have the opportunity to take classes like, cooking, sewing, dance, music, art, and a lot more
b) Due to the budget cuts a lot more students are going to be rejected from schools.
1) San Jose State is going to decline 3,500 students admission,
c) Adding classes at San Jose State is going to be practically impossible.
1) After hearing about San Jose State rejecting a lot of people would make you think that it will be easier to add classes, because there are less people but no, it is just the opposite. It will be extremely hard to add a class. Most likely they will be full. You would have to be really lucky to get a class.
2) Also, teachers will be a lot more stressed, so they will be a lot less likely to negotiate with you.
a) Sometimes if you talk to a professor one on one, they will be more likely to help you with your problem. If they are stressed out all the time they won’t want to be helpful; they will want to take the easy way out.
b) Also, because there are more students, teachers will have a lot less time to help students.

II) Due to the budget cuts in California it will raise the price of the tuition not only for San Jose State, but for all the state schools.
a) For a lot of students this will be a big problem.
1) Even though there are scholarships out there, they can be very hard to get.
2) Also, sometimes parents already have a hard time paying the tuition now, what is it going to be like when the prices go up?
b) It is not fair that the price of education is going up but the education isn’t getting any better.
1) The education would actually be getting worse because there would be fewer classes and more students.

III) Education is the one thing in life that you truly need to fully succeed to your highest potential.
a) In life there are always going to be obstacles but we should always find a way to overcome them.
1) The fact that you made it to college is a huge accomplishment
A) A lot of students don’t even make it that far.
B) There are a lot of people that feel that it is too hard and they just give up.
2) Education will help you a lot through life.
A) Without a college degree, it is a lot less likely that you will find a good, high paying job.
B) Also, without education you won’t have the plain old basic knowledge that everyone else has.
3) In the speech “The Audacity of Hope,” by Barak Obama, he states that he has high expectations for the world.
A) He feels that we can do a lot better.
1) We should all learn from what he has to say because he truly believes in our nation.
B) At one point during the speech he stated “I believe that we can give our middle class relief and provide working class families with a road to opportunities.”
1) Barak feels that everyone is important; every life makes a difference in this world.
2) He wants everyone to have equal opportunities, as it should be.
