Dear Mr. Cariou,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite tv show that you currently play in is Blue Bloods.   Blue Bloods is a great tv show because I enjoy the plot of the show about the Reagan family filled with a police commissioner, NYPD Detective, a police officer, a ADA, retired police commissioner, and the rest of the family where they work together to help each other give advices or help give some ideas how to give approaches on handling a case.  Another thing I like about Blue Bloods is how  the Reagan Family have a meal together where they discuss topics or learn different advices to help each other learn life lessons.  Also in season 1 through 8 I really like seeing how each of the Reagan family including some of their partners work hard to improve their traits.  Mr. Cariou, you do such an excellent job portraying retired NYPD Police Commissioner Henry Reagan because I like on how you make the patriarch Reagan have great traits like being a mentor to his son NYPD Police Commissioner Frank on giving some advice on how to do his job while listening to a voice of reason and how he works to help the members of the other Reagan family get some life lesson advice.  Another thing that I like about your character is how he has a sense of humor when the Reagan family have a meal together.

I strongly believe that you do such an excellent job making Blue Bloods a great tv show. Also you really make Patriarch Reagan have unique traits and a great character  to help the Reagan family.  I was wondering if you could take the time to answer some of my questions.  You really inspire me to continue to be a fan of Blue Bloods and to enjoy watching every episodes from Season1 to present. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job making Blue Bloods a great tv show to watch, and inspiring me.   I wish you the best to make Blue Blood season 8 have great episodes.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Dear President Howard,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice. In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, improve social justice to make communities safe, and many others.  President Howard, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your service in the military, your work as President of Robert Morris University and your speeches on TedTalks including on Youtube to be very inspiring to me.

When you served in the military, I liked on how you went with Secretary of Defense William Cohen to Cape Town, South Africa to help give him some advice on how to improve U.S. relations between African countries on human rights, combating against childhood hunger, and many others.  In your current role as 8^th President of Robert Morris University, I really like on how you are a strong supporter and advocate for Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights and working hard to improve safety for minorities including people who are different to be protected from being bullied.  Also I like on how you are working to hire more women, minorities, and people with disabilities to work for the college and support more diversity programs to help teach people about different cultures.  Your approach on improving education like expand on online bachelor degree programs to help students take classes online to help the get a degree, provide accommodations on students with disabilities like extra time on exams along with provide educational resources to help them improve o n comprehension and teaming up with different colleges including president of university to find common sense solutions to make college be a safe environment to learn is common sense. Another thing that I like about your role as President of  Robert Morris University is how you encourage students of  Robert Morris University, athletes from the college sport teams, and teachers to be mentors to help inspire youth to be interested in getting an education through volunteering.

President Howard, I have autism with a learning disability.  Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Your commitment to advocate for people with disabilities’ rights and support the fundamental of Civil Rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  On TedTalks “Dr. Chris Howard Five Be’s” I really like on how you gave some advice about how to find yourself in learning education, shared about what it was like serving in the military, and many others. On Youtube, I like watching your videos of how you are working on education reform, improving on diversity, and many others.  Your role as President of Robert Morris University gives me motivation to continue to learn history, social justice, and diversity.  My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, the need for diversity to help make communities safe along with promote different cultures, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role. I really had fun watching TedTalks and some Youtube videos of your speeches and they were very motivating and I liked learning about your work. You truly inspire me to work hard on my disability, learn about your role as President of Robert Morris University, and to be motivated to continue to learn history with social justice.  My letter is a gift to you for inspiring me and for Black History Month to help recognize African Americans who work hard to make a great difference for society. Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, working hard to improve education along with society, and inspiring me. I was wondering if you could please share with me what it is like being President of Robert Morris University.

Dear Ms. Mills,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite Disney movies that you played in were Parent Trap, Pollyanna, and That Darn Cat.   In Parent’s Trap I enjoyed the plot about  identical twins Susan and Sharon McKendrick who goes to summer camp where they both find out that they are related and switch places to learn about their parents Mitch and Maggie.  Also what I liked about the movie was it focused on friendships, how the Sharon/Susan worked hard to end their conflict with each other to help reunite their parents together, and many others.   Also In Parent Trap, I really liked the song Lets Get Together because I was amazed how you duet with yourself. Pollyanna was another great movie because I really liked the story about a 12 year old orphan girl named Pollyanna who comes into to town to live with her strict aunt and how she makes a great difference for the citizens in the town. You did an excellent job portraying Pollyanna  because I liked on how you made her have great traits like caring about people who are different,  being kind with friendly to people when some people are strict, and wanting to make a positive difference.   In that movie I liked on how it gave a great message about the being kind and friendly can make a some positive difference when  other people aren’t willing to. 

Besides your acting career, I really like on how you are an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights. Ms. Mills, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Another thing is that when I struggle with a disability is when I have trouble with friendships due to some friends including peers get judgmental about me being different from other people and lose motivation in myself. Your commitment to be an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Also your role as Susan/Sharon in Parent Trap and as Pollyanna in Pollyanna gives me motivation to learn the importance of being kind, friendly, and working hard on trying to be positive can make you a better person, Also your role in Disney movies helped me become more interested in watching more Disney movies because they have great symbolisms like the need for friendships when people are from different background, have diversity,  learn to improve yourself, have the courage to overcome your struggles, and many others.  Some of my favorite Disney movies are Parent Trap, Pollyanna, Darby O’Gill and the Little People, The Hunchback from Norte Dame, Mulan, Frozen,  Toy Story, Beauty and The Beast, and many others.  

Ms. Mills, I strongly believe that you made a great difference in making Disney movies great to watch. You did an awesome and excellent job making your characters have great traits in them. Your acting and your activism really inspires me to work hard on my disability, learn the need to continue to be friendly including kind,  work hard at being positive when there are challenges, and to continue to be a fan of Disney moviesHere is a picture of me at Disney Magic Kingdom as a gift to you for inspiring me and $5 as a donation for you to use to help your activism   Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job acting in Disney movies including making a difference in your activism, and inspiring me.

Dear Sheriff Penzone,

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history and social justice.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need for Civil Rights to be strong in order to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform to help protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others. Sheriff Penzone, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work as 37^th Sheriff of Maricopa County to be very inspiring to me.

On January 2017, I enjoyed watching your Swearing-in speech on Youtube because I really liked on how you express the need for criminal justice reform, the need for law enforcement to improve relations with communities, and many others. In your current role as 37^th Sheriff of Maricopa County, I really appreciate on how you are a strong supporter of Civil Rights by advocating for people with disabilities’ rights, expressing the need to reduce racial profiling in law enforcement resources to help protect minorities including immigrants from being oppressed, and expanding on law enforcement resources to help combat against hate-crime to help protect minorities including people who are different.  Your approach on criminal justice reform like expand drug treatment programs to help drug-users get the care they need to reduce drug addiction, establish a commission filled with community organizers including some law enforcement to find ways to improve community police relations in order reduce tensions, end the “Tent City” to reduce law enforcement from abusing inmates, and push for more resources to help victims of crime or victims of domestic violence get help on dealing with their trauma is common sense.  Another thing that I like about your work as Sheriff of Maricopa County is how you are working hard to find check and balances to protect people’s civil liberties like the fourth amendment which is to protect people form unreasonable search warrants while reduce crime, hiring more women including minorities to work in the sheriff department to improve diversity, and supporting the need for more forensic science including DNA testing to reduce sending an innocent person to jail.  Also I really liked on how you are working to improve morale in the sheriff department by expand training programs to help train law enforcement to find ways to handle a situation instead of abusing people and focus on more community policing to help law enforcement get engage between communities.

Sheriff Penzone, I have autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different advance subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.   Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights including people with disabilities’ rights really inspires me to work hard on my disability.  Your role as 37^th Sheriff of Maricopa County gives me motivation to continue to learn history and social justice. My future goal is to someday work in these areas to help emphasize the need to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination, have criminal justice reform in order to protect people’s rights while reduce crime, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role as Sheriff.  I’m very proud on how you are working hard to push for criminal justice reform, support Civil Rights, and improve morale in the law enforcement.  You have truly inspired me to work hard on my disability and to continue to learn different subjects especially history with social justice.  I was wondering if you could explain your thoughts on being a sheriff and I hope someday I could meet you because you truly inspire me.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making a great impact in the law enforcement including the community, and inspiring me. I wish you the best to continue to push for common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick
