  1. Three words that describe me would be Quiet, Goofy, and Obserative. Quiet because i hardly speak untill spoken to. Goofy because i stay laughing sometimes even if nothings funny. Observative because i watch people and learn their ways so that i know who and who not to associate myself with.

  2. If i could change one law it would be to allow the prisoners that are going through it really bad to have the priveledge to be released on special occassions such as: Birthdays and Holidays because i have a brother who i havent seen in years that i miss sooooo much and its hard to visit hhim when we dont have transportation like that knowing he is in a far away place. He has kids and has never gotten the chanve to see them in person because the mother doesnt have transportation like that either and i think and feel that its not fair to any of us

    If i could change one law it would be to reduce the sentences of drug charges because a person makes their own decision to purchase narrcotics and individuals that murder individuals recieve less time and they a literally taking a life weather it is second degree, first degree, or pre meditated you can challenge three types of laws and drug dealer only has one and that could be all they know how to do.

  5. the three words i would use to describe myself are happy, goofy and passionate. I say happy because i try to find the best in every situation and bring the best out. I say goofy because at home i laugh and have fun and i sing at the top of my lungs. I say passionate because whatever cause i am supporting i will give that specific case my full and undivided attention.

  6. If i Marisha Avery could change any one law it would be the fact that police officers so often get off with a slap on the wrist. I mean they tell us to follow the lam and then they don't. When civilians break the law we get the appropriate punishment for what we do. Yet when a police officer breaks the law the tend to get off with a warning.

  7. If i had to describe myself in three words those words will be creative, spontanous, and dedicated. I choose those words for many descrete reasons. I chose creative because of my ability to create things to do wich also ties into me being spontanous. I say im spontanous because my decisions are made on last second decisions. No not because i cant choose, just carefully thought out. Im a very dedicated person once i put my mind to something i complete it to the best of my abilities. Those would be the three words that describe me.

  8. If I had to describe my self in three words I would have to say that I am very selfish, selfless, and feisty. My reason for choosing these words are not as simple as I would like. In fact I had to really think about this question. The reason I say selfish is because, for one, I am a teenage girl and 78% of the time I would like to think that someone's world revolves around me. I could care less about others as long as I get what I want when I want it, typical. But then it gets tricky because I am also selfless. I would give anything to anyone anytime they needed it. Some say its a humble bad habit but at times I let people and their opinion over ride me and what i want or like, but that is only if I care about you. Don't think for a second that if you come up to me that I will fold because you gave me your two cents, I will probably look at you and ask the simple question of why on earth you would think I care about you or what comes out your mouth. Just to be honest with you. And with that I guess you can understand why I said feisty. I am not going to put on a show or whatever, I do have a bit of a attitude but I think cover it nicely with sarcasm. Its been that way forever and I highly doubt if thats it going to change. It not horrible its just when someone needs help with finding their place I will escort them into it and make sure they realize why they must stay in it. And those are the three words I would use to describe myself.

  9. if i can change any law i wanted i would change the law that say you have to be 21 to get ah gun permit. i feel as if you are 18 in you are resonsible and only using the gun for protection you should be able to carrie a gun.with all the crime and the world it sounds like a good idea. they also so should have those people in sum classes that show you how to shoot the gun the right way..
    three words that describe me is loud, outspoken, and intellingent. I say loud because my voice do stand out most of the time. Outspoken because if i have an opinon about something im going tosay whats on my mine. Intellingent because i can do anything that i set my mine to..

  10. One law that i would change is that woman get the same sentence for murder just like me i feel that we shouldnt get a lesser punishment just because were a female. If we murder somebody lifes we are taking somebodys mother,father,son,daughter,niece, nephew etc. I believe we should get the same punishment just like men.
    Three words that would describe me would be outspoken, spiritual, and goofy these describe me because i speak my mind regardless of what happens. Spiritual because i love godd and music is my life. Goofy because i love to laugh and smile.

  11. Three words that desribe me(Lashon Sifford) are Goofy,Humble and Sarcastic(at times). Goofy because i will laugh and joke at just about anything!Someone could just walk past me and i will probably just bust out laughing!!I just love to laugh and smile! Humble because i will help anybody in need.It just hurts my heart to see someone witout food,money or clothes, so if i know i can help them i will. Sacarstic because at times i can get real mouthy. I have a really smart mouth sometimes.I just hate for someone to get the last word over me, so i feel as if i have to go back and forth with that person to prove im gonna always be right!

    If i could change one law it would be the law of woman having to do time in jail when they are pregnant.I dont think that it is fair for them to be inconcerated while they are pregnant because their baby did not ask to be born.so why should they have to suffer and be born in a rough harsh place.That is jut something that is unfair.
