exhortations
Source: Ancient Philosophy by Forrest E. Baird and Walter Kaufmann
How it was used: There would have been a reason for it, if I had gained any advantage by this, or if I had been paid for my exhortations; but you see yourselves that my accusers, though they accuse me of everything else without shame, have not had the shamelessness to say that I ever either exacted or demanded payment.
Definition: ex-hor-ta-tion (n). 1. Something said or written in order to urge somebody strongly to do something. 2. The giving of earnest advice or encouragement.
My Sentence: Peggy applied for the competitive internship position after great exhortation by her professor.
