The reason why I am writing to you is to express my concerns regarding the events that took place that evening and the reasons why I feel that David does not pose a threat to myself or to my daughter, Autumn.
I have been dating David for almost two years (June 20th), and just like any normal couple we have experienced a few bumps in the road. I am stubborn about things just as most women are, and he can be as well about certain things. Ours is one of the longest relationships I have been in and I tend to understand things differently than he does because I have experienced a lot of trauma in my past, and have learned to grow positively because of him. I love this man with all of my heart and he loves and cares for me just the same. He has a kind and huge heart and many people think the world of him that he is acquainted with. We would be more than willing to do whatever it takes to make things work,

I was the one who persuaded him to come to my home, as I felt that my daughter and I were in no danger by him. Both myself and David were naïve by not fulfilling the conditions set in place and we should have let things proceed the way they were intended to, but my daughter and I missed him very much and I didn’t and still do not want anything bad to happen to him from this. We both feel responsible and I was in no way was intimidated by David to let him come to my home, it was my actions and him missing us that led him here. As I said above, if anything, I should be held partially responsible for his coming here because I was the one who messaged him. Had I not messaged him begging him to come to my home, he would have followed through with the imposed

    While working with Jordan in the court system I would communicate to the judge that Jordan in a bright boy and all he wishes is to find a home and a job. It would be important to communicate to the judge that Jordan is facing child poverty and distress that was brought on by his father with his constant drinking. As an advocate for Jordan, one should be his voice and mention that Jordan is a boy who wants to get his life together and quit drugs and alcohol. It would be wise to mention that Jordan recognizes that soliciting is illegal and by putting Jordan in jail as an adult would be harmful because Jordan is already struggling with his own self-concept and thinks that his parents don’t care about him. By putting Jordan in jail it would cause…

    Ideas I can bring to the National Honors society based on scholarship is volunteering for a non profit organization for an event that is held in the community. Spending time on helping others shows that not only you care about yourself but you also care about others in the community. When you work hard you don't expect an award the main objective is to make an impact. You show that making a change on an issue shows how committed and willing you are to spare your own time to contribute to an organization. I represent scholarship by being involved on service learning opportunities that are held in school or events held outside..…
