Lets face the facts. Section 8 is a rent voucher program that allows you to find a house, townhouse or apartment of your choice and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. is going down hill, and we are catching speed.
Some blame "Section 8 Scum" but the truth is, they are people just we are. What makes me wonder is that I think you don't even know what Section 8 is. Section 8 is "Section 8 is a rent voucher program that allows you to find a house, townhouse or apartment of your choice and use the voucher to pay for all or part of the rent. "- Housingvoucher.org.
You call them "Scum" I call them by name. No one is guilty of anything until proven so and, it is very uncouth for generalizations to be made about anyone. There are more than just your regular suspects these days. You've got to keep an eye out.
Crime in this area is no different than crime in another. We have DUI's and shoplifters. What keeps us different? Our people. We stop the cycle of crime before it starts. That's why groups like H2O are so important to the community. They are they are there to mentor high schoolers and keep them off the streets - by choice and, it works.
Please stop blaming the people who have done nothing. Instead help the little ones who don't know the difference.
Maybe then we'll see a change.
Thanks- Kelly

The editor did not see a problem. That's why it was posted.

So when you get to the Pearly Gates of Heaven Kelly, your third grade writing skills won't matter much as long as you continue to follow a righteous path.

My third grade writing skills keep me out of trouble. Evidently you fiend for it. I on another note- Do not believe in GOD as you so claim. So let's keep religions out of it.
I write as I would speak. No different than you except, I am true to my word of integrity and honesty.

Kelly - I'm embarrassed for you, BHS teachers and the VVSD administrators. If your writing is a typical example of a Senior in High School at BHS, then heads need to roll.

It's not a typical example. I actually noticed an error in it myself. I will have to take that up with the editor because I did not put it there.

Pam C. Kellyofthebrook's writing skills, and her lack of tact when speaking on many topics, is not representative of the education she has received in the Valley View School District. As you may see in another one of her subjective blogs---she does not appreciate the opportunities given to her at Bolingbrook High School, or the efforts of the administration and Staff. Therefore, I highly doubt she has taken her lessons from any writing/English course seriously either.

You hit home Kelly and that my dear, is why so many are attacking your writing skills instead of perhaps absorbing what you wrote. It's eaiser for them to blame someone on section 8, even if no one is even caught. It's very sad and everyone should wake up.
Thanks for being brave enough to write about it.

Good article but I had a hard time comprehending the first part. No offense, please, but it reminded me of my friend texting me in a hurry.
There is a lot of run on sentences. Could you possibly re write this?
Thanks & God bless.
