Dear Ms. O’Hara,

My name is Matt Winick and I’m a fan of Disney movies. The main reason I like Disney movies is because they have great symbolism like the need to have courage when facing different obstacles or the importance of friendships including many others, have diversity with different cultures, and the main Disney characters have interesting traits.  Ms. O’Hara, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain why I enjoyed Disney Beauty and The Beast, how I believe that you did a great job, and share with you on how you inspire me.

Ms. O’Hara, I thought you did an excellent job voicing as Belle in Disney Beauty and the Beast because I liked on how you made Belle have great traits like having the courage to do kind things when there are obstacles, caring about her father along with other servants who serve under The Prince/ Beast, and many others. I enjoyed the plot of the movie about a young girl named Belle who lives is a village who dreams about having excitement along with adventure while the other village people including Gaston ridicule her except for her father and then after her father is in prison by the Beast she decides to surrender herself as a prisoner to the beast in order for her father to be released, and later she develops feelings for the Beast.  My favorite songs in the movie was “Belle”, “Be Our Guest”,  and “Beauty and the Beast”.  The main reason I liked these songs is because I liked on how it had a great balance between humor while have creative lyrics.    Another reason I liked The Beauty and The Beast is how Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Potts, Chip, and many other servants have different interest traits.  After Beauty and The Beast movies, I enjoyed watching the Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas because I enjoyed the plot of the story about how Belle works with Cogsworth, Lumiere, Mrs. Pots, and Chip convinces The Beast to celebrate Christmas when he forbidden it.

Ms. O’Hara, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having it is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.  Another thing that I struggle with a   disability is people tease me or use prejudice on me based on a disability.  Your role as Belle in Disney Beauty and The Beast on making Belle have good traits like having the courage to do good things when facing different obstacles really inspires me to work hard on my disability. The movie had also a great symbolism about the need for friendships, don’t judge a person by their cover, and many others.  These symbolism gives me motivation to work on finding friends along with understand the need for friendships and be confident when people judge me based on a disability.

I do believe that you did an excellent job making Disney Beauty and the Beast a great movie and portraying Belle to be a great Disney character with great traits.  You along with Beauty and the Beast including other Disney movies really inspires me to work hard on my disability and use the symbolism for these movies to help motivate me to work on improving myself.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you for inspiring me and here is $5 for you to donate to help fund Disney to help them continue to make great movies. Also I was wondering if you could please share some advice about how to work hard on friendships or when there are struggles with obstacles. Thanks for doing an excellent job making Disney Beauty and the Beast a great movie along with making Belle a great character and inspiring me.  I wish you well for the future and to continue to make Disney a better place.

Sincerely,

Matt Winick

Columbia, SC  29201

Dear Governor Hodges,

My name is Matthew Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan with a strong interest in learning history including public policy.  In these subjects, I like to learn the need to make Civil Rights stronger in order to reduce discrimination, protect the environment from pollution, find ways to improve education to make learning a better place, and many others.  Governor Hodges, the main reason I’m writing you a letter is to explain how I find your work 114^th Governor of South Carolina to be very inspiring to me.

When you served as 114^th Governor of South Carolina from 1999-2003, I was very proud on how you were a strong supporter of Civil Rights. Also on Civil Rights, I liked on how you were an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights, support funding women including minorities businesses to help them compete in the economy, express the need for women to have equal pay, and support the ideas of the Equal Rights Amendment to help protect women from being discriminated based on gender even though the state legislature didn’t pass it.  On the environment, I like your approach like supporting funds for renewable energy (wind, solar, biofuel, and energy efficient products) and pushing for superfunds to help clean up rivers along with parks to make them safe for people to use.  On the Martin Luther King Jr, issue, I was very proud on how you added Martin Luther King Holiday to the state official calendars to help honor MLK’s work on Civil Rights and to help educate people about the need to continue to make Civil Rights stronger to reduce discrimination.  Another thing that I liked about your role as Governor of South Carolina is how you had the courage to remove the confederate flag from the state capitol’s dome to it’s ground to help restore confidence on people who are different and to reduce racism when other state legislatures weren’t advocates on this issue.   Your approach on education reform like providing schools with money to help fix schools to make them safe for students to learn, funding special education to help students with disabilities get educational resources that they need, and launching “First Steps to School Readiness” to have early childhood education to help them improve their reading skills along with expand comprehension are great ways to have education reform. After you lost your re-election for another term, I’m very proud on how you continue to advocate for education reform, express the need to make Civil Rights stronger, support people with disabilities’ rights, and many others.  

Governor Hodges, I have Autism with a learning disability. Having a disability is hard for me because I have trouble comprehending on learning different subjects including learning new tasks, sometimes I struggle to communicate my thoughts, and get teased.   Another thing is during my educational years ranging from elementary school through Washtenaw Community College, my community college I struggled on learning different subjects including getting teased by other people about having a disability. However, in Spring 2014 I was able to get an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts in my community college. My main focus in my Associates Degree is history, government, some businesses, some science, and science.  Your commitment to be a strong supporter of Civil Rights, be an advocate for people with disabilities’ rights, and be a strong supporter of education reform really inspires me to work hard on my disability, continue to learn different subjects when I face different challenges, and many others. Even though I’m not in school anymore, I continue my interest in learning different subjects especially history with public policy by watching different documentaries with subtitles to help improve myself on vocabulary along with help me understand different topics, research along with writing letters to public officials through former public officials or celebrities to help me understand more about their work with how they inspire me, and visit historical sites or museums to help expand my learning.   Your role as 114^th Governor of South Carolina motivates me to continue my interest in learning history with public policy.   My future goal is to someday work in public policy or history to help create common sense ideas to make society better.

Governor Hodges, I strongly believe that you made great achievements in your role as Governor of South Carolina. I’m very proud on how you worked hard to make a great difference for society and had the courage to oppose the Confederate flag.  You have inspired me to work hard on my disability  and to continue my interest in learning history.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, making great achievements as Governor, and inspiring me.  I wish you well for the future and to continue to advocate for great common sense ideas.

Sincerely,

Matthew B. Winick
