March wooo

This month I am sad to say I wasn’t able to go to the office at all.

The office got flooded and I haven’t been able to come in since then.

I told her to call me once it was good to go, but I haven’t gotten a call yet.

Later this week I plan to call in and see how things are going and if I’ll be able to come in.

All I know is that the office wasn’t doing so hot financially recently, so I’m guessing the flooding hasn’t helped keeping the money up.

I still think I have to think of a better independent component 2.

I’m not doing so swell with my getting more research content either.

Everything I look up seems to be giving me information I already know about.

and yeah.

I guess that’s it for this month.

Blog 18: third answer

• EQ:How best can society reduce the levels of drug-related crime
• Answer #3 (Write in a complete sentence like a thesis statement)* A way that society can reduce the drug related crime in our communities is by investing in local projects to offer help for the people that seek it.
• 3 details to support the answer (a detail is a fact and an example): 
• People often times don't have the initiative to seek help due to law enforcement and money. 
• Investing money in projects to get the information to the people can possibly lower the drug use, thus lowering the crime. 
• In the book, "Ain't Nobody's Business If You Do," a model was murdered due to drugs because she struggled financially and the drug business was the only place she found help. If other means of help had been to her disposal she could have made a better decision.
