Conclusion ExamplesSample Conclusion 1

In conclusion, I have gained a strong understanding for the manner in which reporterswork. While most reporters must have a college degree to gain an on air position,some attain a position as a reporter based on their social connections or celebritystatus. My plan is to work as a hard as I can and earn my degree then become areporter at a local news station. I know it will not be an easy task[p,but I am prepared todo what I can to make my dream come into fruition.

Sample Conclusion 2Most Urban schools are in need of more resources to reach higher levels of studentachievement. Schools that continue to operate without highly qualified teachers,modern technology, and better support from the parents of their student s will be hard

pressed to attain higher levels of student learning. Schools that fail to improve will onlycontinue to leave children behind in today's society.
