on 10/21/2008 I would like to know how to go about getting someone to listen in helping people in getting a second chance in life.Society has a way of not careing about people that have made mistakes in their lives,but have corrected them and want to stay on the right track,but don't know where to turn.It's hard to get a job,it's hard to just survive,and i like to know how we can make this piture right,because we are human being to ,we just made a mistake just like everybody else.Please help me in changing this problem from a negative one to a positive one.

on 10/21/2008 I would like to know how to go about getting someone to listen on the topic of second chances.There are so many people out here they would love to get a second chance in life.But society doesn't see it that way.You can't get a job,can't get help in any kind of way,and you wonder why we have so many people in jail or on drug,not because that's what they want to do,but when society look at you like a nobody then that's how you start thinking of yourself.I need to know how can i help in changes someone life for the better,not only will be helping others but also myself,help me into finding a solution to this problem.

on 9/22/2008 This isn't helpful... I dont understand how such a website can even be published. Not everybody wants to write an article for the newspaper. We need stuff we can use for school. Something like what kind of sentences should we use or details... Get the point?

on 11/22/2005 Being a former editor, I know that people often don't realize if their letter doesn't make sense. Have a friend or two look over the letter before you mail it to make sure you're getting your point across. What makes sense to you might not to others.
