Something that I’ve accomplished at Legacy this year that I’m proud of is the poem I wrote about the problems I was having at home. The poem was part of my multi genre project concerning crack addiction. It is one of the most powerful pieces I have written in my life and that is why it is a significant accomplishment to me. Next year I would love to help out in any way that I can. I don’t know what that would consist of though because of the new schedule next year.
This is a career that I will continue to contribute to the community and the people in many ways and also be compensated. The benefits that I will receive are beyond pay, I have always helped with volunteering as a youth counselor. Helping out teens to make the right choices in life as well as educating them about drugs, sex, and crime. Helping the community with crime watch meetings and even checking in on the elders in the community to make sure their homes are secure from being targeted for break-ins. For the most part I would have to say my childhood experience is what helped me in decide to go forward with this career.
Three Strikes revised Annqunette Williams March 18, 2013 I do support the proposed amendment to our Three Strikes Law, arguing that it will help protect the public from the small, hard core population of career criminals. I also think that it should be expanded the law has been the same for decades and, it hurt the people who are trying to change their life around but get caught in a bad situation. Proposition 184, the three strikes law, was imposed to sentence repeat criminals with harsher
Having the current homelessness program analyzed for effectiveness and needed changes would be the first place to start in order to get the outcome I desired in the end. I would also hit the streets and speak with the people in need, as well as the people that are in the field, running these programs and working with the needy. Then he would’ve gotten a better understanding of what is lacking and what is actually needed to get the targeted groups of people off the streets and into the shelters and housing assistance
I’ve seen many illnesses in my life with myself as well as other people’s illnesses. I have been taught by my parents but also have taught myself not to treat others differently just because of illnesses. That is one thing I will never tolerate in my life, people making fun of others or staring because of someone being different in their personal lives. This book made me think of people thinking they need
The other benefit our government received had to do with the changes caused in the economy when the 9/11 terrorist attacks happened. What happened that day, cost the U.S. $20 billion dollars and caused the global market to fall over $100 billion dollars. This made it easier for our government to trade certain goods with other certain countries. This is also a good excuse to raise taxes and the prices of oil and anything else people need so the government is spending money but maybe not as much as they were receiving. The terrorist attacks also caused the major debt the U.S. was in
In my county we have a lot of sexual offenders and the county is not that big we need to get a hand on this and let them know we won’t allow them to hurt another child or adult. In conclusion we have discussed community correction and how it affects society. We have also talked about my hypothesis about community corrections and its effectiveness in the criminal justice system. We talked about foreign countries and their prison systems along with the United States system. I think that Community Corrections is a wonderful opportunity for individuals to get a new start at life and should continue to help offenders in the
I firmly believe that I am living proof that sexuality truly makes up a part of our soul. If we deny any part of our soul especially a part that needs attention and nurturing to survive our bodies suffer mentally, physically, and emotionally. Since I accepted myself and began this process of loving me, I have lost one-hundred pounds in the past year and a half. I know for a fact that the reason I was able to lose the weight was because my soul did not need any more energy to suppress this part of myself I had been denying my entire
They believe by continuing to fight the so called “war on drugs”, the U.S. government has worsened these problems of society instead of alleviating them. They also state that drug prohibition is the true cause of much of the social and personal damage that has historically been attributed to drug use. It is prohibition that makes these drugs so valuable. Nearly 40 years and some 40 million arrest later, drugs are cheaper, more potent and far more widely used than at the beginning of this futile crusade, at the cost of tens of billions of dollars every year. How much more evidence does Washington need.
I learned horrible things about him, and started to help him out. It should've made me feel good, but with my anxiety, he just made me so scared. I couldn't lose him, and I was afraid I'd wake up and he'd be gone. Then the unthinkable happened. One of my friends passed away from a brain aneurysm.
