Funding special education to help students with disabilities get the educational resources they need to learn, implementing more after school programs to provide youth with help on their assignments from tutors, and pushing for more arts, history, and diversity classes to make education diverse to learn is common sense.  I like your approach on protecting the environment while reduce climate change by supporting funds for renewable energy projects to help reduce addiction to oil with gas, encouraging businesses including industries to use energy-efficient products to reduce high energy cost while reduce pollution, and providing funds to improve city services to help clean parks including water resources to make them safe for people to use.  Another thing that I like about your work as Mayor of Carmel, Indiana is how you work with other U.S. Mayor from different political affiliation in the U.S. Conference of Mayors on finding different common sense solutions to improve social justice.   Also I like on how you are a moderate Republican on support advancing Civil Rights to reduce discrimination, pushing for environmental protection in order to reduce pollution,  advocating for immigration reform to help protect immigrants including refugees from being oppressed.

Mayor Brainard, 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.  Also your role as Mayor of Carmel, Indiana gives me motivation to continue to learn history with 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, protect the environment from pollution, and many others.

I strongly believe that you are making a great difference in your current role. I’m very proud on how you are a moderate Republican on supporting Civil Rights, protecting the environment,  and expressing the need for immigration reform.

Dear Mr. Buck III.

My name is Matt Winick from Ann Arbor, Michigan and I’m a fan of your acting. My favorite tv show that you are currently playing in is Chicago Med.  Chicago Med is a great tv show because I enjoy the plot of the show about doctors and nurses where they work on different medical cases in Chicago Medical Center and heave to learn how each medical decision can affect a person or hospital politics.  Mr. Buck III, you do an excellent job portraying Dr. Noah Sexton because I like on how you make Dr. Sexton have great traits like caring about his sister April who is a nurse when she struggles in the medical profession while understanding her own life, learning to improve his medical skills as a first year resident, and working hard to put differences with other medical professions when trying to understand how to deal with a medical case.  Another thing that I liked about your character Dr. Sexton how he is friends with Dr. Sarah Reese and helps her when she has some struggles on dealing with different issues including understanding medicine.  Also during the Chicago franchises crossovers like Chicago Fire,  Chicago PD, and Chicago MED, I like on how you make Dr. Noah Sexton have a part in working with Fire 51 including paramedics, Chicago PD, and the rest of Chicago Med to team up to save Chicago.  So far I enjoy watching season 1 through 3 of Chicago Med and I really enjoy it because each episode because I enjoy seeing how the doctors including the nurses work hard to improve themselves on dealing with medical cases while trying to overcome the hard stuff in life.

Mr. Buck III, 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 that I struggle with a disability is when there are challenging times it’s for me to feel confident about myself, and struggles with friendships when people get judgmental about me being different.  Chicago franchises (Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Chicago Justice, and Chicago MED)  and the rest of the cast including you really inspires me to work hard on my disability.   Also the moral value lesson is these shows like the need for friendships when there are struggles or a person in a need for guidance,  when there is a conflict there is a need to end a conflict to help each other work as a team, and when there are struggles it is important to work hard to overcome them helps gives me motivation to work hard on my struggles, understand the need to improve myself when other people don’t like that you are different,  and many others. Also to add is your role in Chicago Med gives me motivation to continue to be a fan of the show.

I strongly believe that you are doing an excellent job making Chicago Med a great show. I’m very proud on how you are working hard to make Dr. Noah Sexton a great character with different unique traits.  You, the rest of the cast of Chicago franchise, and the shows really inspires me to work hard on my disability and understand how some of the basic moral value lessons can help a person when there is a difficult moment or a struggles.  I’m proud to be a fan of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice.  Here is a picture of me as a gift to you to keep for inspiring me.  I hope someday I can get a chance to meet all the cast of the Chicago Franchise because all of you really make a great impact on me.   I was wondering if you could please  give me some advice about friendships when  there are struggles and share with some of your thoughts on Chicago Med.  Thanks for taking the time to read my letter, doing an excellent job making Chicago franchises including Chicago Med a great show, and inspiring me.  I wish you the best to make more great episodes of Chicago Med for the future.
