Myangel:

Good morning, everyone. My name is MyAngel, I just recently moved from South Florida to Georgia. I work a part time position at T.J Maxx. My future goal is to complete my Associates in Criminal Science and further my education after completing a police academy.

I understand you are frustrated with the wait. But, the best I can do is give you a ballpark estimate of how much longer it will take.

Assertions should be true due to the fact they don’t give any backup reasoning to the statement. The truth is very important because we can see how today misleading or false information can have very negative effects on situations.
