As a young girl, I always dreamed of writing for my city’s local paper. Everyday, I told my friends that someday, they would see my name in the newspaper on the front page. They would generally laugh or make comments about my head being in the clouds. After hitting a hurdle in high school, I thought I would never be a columnist or journalist. However, I returned to high school and began pursuing my dream of writing for young children or teenagers. Now, I am earning an Associate Degree in Business Arts. After graduation, I plan to pursue a Bachelors Degree in Business Communication and continue to work on fullfilling my childhood.   

Everyone in Jacksonville, Florida is concerned about the level of violent crime that is consuming his or her community. Some state officials and respected religious leaders want to make a change. They believe that special programs can help the community combat crime and remove drug dealers. Many psychologists believe the best way to handle the city's problem, is to examine why the violence is happening.

There are many reasons that will cause someone to become violent or willing to commit murder. For instance, he or she could be greedy or angry with the person they have attacked. Currently, religious leaders are sponsoring community programs that give out cash and jobs for guns. Now, many want to give out an education voucher instead, since a diploma can change his or her life.
