The BIG question that my OpEd is answering is What should we do. It answers this because its a policy claim about something that should be done. In this case it's allowing incoming freshman to skip their senior year of high school if they met the qualifications to be college approved. I plan on convincing my audience by allowing them to self reflect and see that most of their senior year was just a review of what they learned throughout their high school years and not actual new learning. I plan on helping the see that if they are ready for college by their junior year based upon their academic criteria then they shouldn't be held back from going to college and quickening their path to their aspirations. I'm going to survey and gather testimonials from current BYU freshman about their experience with their senior year of high school.

My Op Ed is actually going to be answering all three of the BIG questions, What exists, what is good, and what should we do. First of all the BIG question what exists. My Op Ed very much so informs my reader about the issue that is currently present at BYU, that is that the school gym is lacking in size and quality and needs to be improved. I’ve heard many times from my siblings and have now experienced myself the poor conditions that are accompanied with the gym here and I know that there are many others that are unsatisfied with what is available to us. I plan to be persuasive and convincing through facts, showing my readers what the current gym is like and what it should be like, I plan to show them what the other local gyms are like as a result of the lack of a satisfactory gym here, I plan to use testimonials, to inform my readers about the present conditions and also bring validity to my statements of the poor condition, and I also plan to use comparisons with a school that many people see to be very comparable to BYU, that is BYU Idaho. These three techniques should be able to inform my readers about “what exists” and convince them that “what exist” is below what “should exist”. In my Op Ed I want to also inform my readers about what is good and what we as students at BYU should expect. That is that we should expect the school to provide a gym that is both large enough and operates well enough to at least satisfy the demands of a far larger percentage of students here at the school. My Op Ed will do this mainly through comparisons with the gym at BYU Idaho to give students, that may be totally unaware at what could be available to them, an idea about what they should expect from the school. This way they will be able to see what is available at other schools and therefore understand what’s could be available. And lastly my Op Ed will answer the BIG question “What should we do?”. And that is that we should make our voice heard and let the school know that we would like a gym that satisfies our needs and desires to be physically fit. In this section I will show my readers examples of other times when the voice of the students here at BYU has been heard and changes have been made based on what the students heave felt
