Dear Brutus,
My wife has been bugging with me too much lately. She thinks I have time to pay attention to her all the time. For goodness sake, I am the king of Rome! She made me stay home today because she was sick, and the people of Rome are wondering what has happened to me. I need some advice to solve this conflict, so if you would like to help me, please send me some!
Caesar

Dear Caesar,
I understand your difficulties. My wife is the same way. I advise you to sit down and have a nice conversation with her and tell her that she has to understand that you are a king of one of the biggest cities in the world and you don't have a lot of time to pay attention to her. Tell her that you will spend as much time with her as you possibly can but she has to understand your situation too.
Brutus

POW#3: Letter to Dr. Berry
Should we really have two extra days at the end of the school year? Well some say we should. I am here to say its non sense. We should not add two days on at the end of the year because it’s not the students’ fault that it snowed and school was canceled or because teachers don’t get paid, they get paid if we have the extra days or not.
Some people say we should add the two extra days because the students didn’t learn anything those two days and should have to make them up. Others say that the teachers don’t get paid if we don’t have the extra days. Well they are all wrong.
First of all people say we need to make up the extra days for education purposes. Well we had no control over the snow and not having school those days. It wasn’t our fault that school was canceled because of natural causes. So why should we have a consequence for something we had no control of? This means we should have the extra two days because of this reason.
Second, people say that it’s not fair to the teachers because they don’t get paid for the two days we missed. The true fact is that the teachers get paid the same amount either way, if we make them up or if we don’t. Even if they didn’t get paid, they aren’t going to get rich off of two days of work. Plus they got these two days off too. It would be different if they had to work those two days and didn’t get paid. The district would also be losing money if we made these days up because the schools would be using extra electricity and supplies. So we shouldn’t have to make up the snow days for this reason either.
So unless there is another reason that we should have these day made up, I can find no reason why we should have them. The two reasons that I have stated here aren’t good enough in my opinion to have them.

Outside Reading #1: The Supernaturalist By: Eoin Colfer
I am reading The Supernaturalist By: Eoin Colfer. So far it is about a boy named Cosmo Hill that lives in a paternally challenged boys home. The home is in the future and they have a lot of technology but they treat the boys very bad. They test out new products on the boys. One of the products was an antiperspirant but when they put it on the boys legs it burned their skin. They also have a terrible place to sleep. They live in a cardboard box that is help up by pipes. The average life expectancy for a boy in this home is 15 years old. Cosmo is 14 so he wants to escape before he turns 15.

POW #2: Snapshots
I remember a photo of my grandma and I at Disney World when I was five years old. My mom, dad and my grandma went and we had a blast. The reason I remember it so well and why I'm writing about it is because about a year after that trip, my grandma got sick and died. So that was the last time I got to see her and it was fun to spend my last little bit of time with her on a trip in Disney World. I don't remember much about that trip because I was only five, but I'm glad I have the photo of my grandma and I.

AOW #1: Nursing Student Dismissed For Facebook Photo
Ms. Byrnes should be let back into JCCC because she wasn't told "no" by the teacher, she was told she wouldn't get in trouble by the teacher, and the picture was only on Facebook for 3 hours and then she took it off immediately when she was told to.
First of all, the teacher never said she couldn't take a picture of it and put it on Facebook. The students said they were going to do this and all the teacher said was "oh you girls...".
The students then asked if they would get in trouble if they did this and the teacher again said "no". This is starting to look like the teacher should be fired, not the students.
Finally, the picture was only on Facebook for 3 hours and when she was told to take it down she did immediately without arguing about it.
So with this information, Ms. Byrnes should be let back into JCCC without and penalties.
