...September 20, 2016 Louie Gohmert 905 US Highway 79 N Henderson, TX 75652 Dear Mr. Gohmert: I would like to address the problem of students not getting enough sleep before school. This problem can be fixed in many ways, but to me the most effective would be requiring all public schools to start later. School starting later would accommodate almost everyone because even teachers wouldn’t have to wake up early, rush to school, and get their lesson plans ready. Later start times have also been proven to help student attendance, focus, and test scores. School starting later has many benefits. If the start time was later, less students would be late or absent. Having more students at school is a huge factor for public schools because their...

...Is it possible even for him to have committed sins and transgression during a time of “immediately”? Remember, the angel had clearly stated that Joseph Smith had been forgiven for his sins when he first started talking to him. Oliver Cowdery, in his letter to Wm. W. Phelps, (Page 74) states clearly about this angel’s words “…by hearing that his own sins were forgiven and his former transgressions to be remembered against him no more”. This is Oliver Cowdery writing of Joseph Smith’s experience and he is stating the same thing Joseph Smith stated in his circa summer 1832 history. It is not clear how Joseph Smith could have committed any sin or transgression in the simple act of obedience to the angels instructions to go directly to where the plates were. Well, now, we first have the angel stating the Lord had forgiven Joseph Smith and his sins and his transgressions would “be remembered against him no more”. Second, we have an angel of the Lord, Joseph Smith (and Oliver...

The letter with court # 15390, Docket Number 88661PP 1999, the due date on the letter to take traffic school is 07/03/2012. I am writing this letter to explain to your Honor what has happened and seeking the mercy of the Court to extend the date to take the traffic school. During the last couple months, I did wonder many times why the letter never comes and keep waiting until the day I found out the letter underneath my nightstand. I found out that the mail was picked up by my cousin during the time me and my husband were out of town and somehow the mail was dropped underneath the nightstand. Since this is my first time receiving the ticket, I am not familiar with the time frame receiving the traffic letter as well as the time frame to take traffic school to clear my driving record. I did call the court at (213) 763 – 1539 but I couldn’t get hold of any clerk to ask question. During this time, many significant events happened which distracted me. The significant events as follows: I go back school for my degree in Bachelor of Nursing, my niece has a major neuro surgery at Choc hospital, and my Dad in Vietnam had motorcycle accident. In addition, my job responsibility I need to handle Your Honor, I am a very responsible person. If I picked up the mail and received the letter in a timely manner,...

...around is good), keep the font simple and 12 pt minimum (the last resume sample in the bulleted list you can get away with a smaller font to fit in the details). If you feel you don’t have enough information to include in your resume add other sports you play or list community service. The information on the resume must be factual, but this is the place where if your academics are not stellar and your soccer playing is, try to emphasize the great soccer player you are and make that jump off of the page. The academics will need to be on the resume too, but consider your strengths when you design your resume. Cover letters Every resume submitted to a college coach should be accompanied by a cover letter. The purpose of the cover letter is to introduce yourself to the coach in a more personalized fashion. Here is a good format for cover letters: Paragraph 1 – Introduce yourself and let the college coach know that you are interested in his/her program. It is always wise to mention that you have done research and be sure to include the name of the specific college in this paragraph. Paragraph 2 – Let the coach know that you have enclosed your resume that details your academic standing and soccer experience. Highlight your GPA and indicate what you would like to study in college if you know. Write about your H.S. soccer career and any titles or awards that you won. Paragraph 3 – Let the coach know how well you would fit into their program and why. Paragraph...

...simple letters of the alphabet? Well, John Almy, the author of, “Alphabet Soup: My Life as a Reader”, withstood that exact problem. Imagine at a young age looking at b, d, p, and q. Now imagine not seeing a distinction between the four letters. That’s frustrating isn’t it? As Mr. Almy states, “One of the first things I learned in school was that I was stupid. Really Stupid.” (1). John was faced with an issue that did not make school pleasant for a young assertive boy and his family, which really was not in a good state of mind already. So, put yourself into John’s shoes. Try to understand the difficult times of his adolescence. School was not always unpleasant to John. He said, “When I first started going to school it was fun.” (1). Of course he was talking about the recess part of school. “Playing outside on the jungle gym, wrestling outside in the mud, and if you liked girls then you chased them around and pull their hair.” (1). That was always the best part of school, until that screeching bell rang and turned everyone into little learning robots, which meant back to work again. John never considered being the class genius, but the time came where the teacher began to teach the alphabet. She wrote the letters up on the board, and she asked the class to define what the letter is. Well, the letter A was easy, so was B, and C. He was delighted to get those right, but when that letter D came around he was astonished. John said, “I made it all the way through the letters a, b...
