We're not really looking at how the essay is written. We're looking for someone's essay that appeals to us, who wants to be in the florist shop business and wants to learn.

The only problem is that yesterday, I caught her 'grading' the essays.

We thought that having a real estate agent would be a boring way to sell the shop, and we wanted to have more fun with this, so my mother, who is a former high school English and history teacher, and I thought of this essay contest.

It?s not something that appeals to me. It?s quirky. But I?m glad to see it out here in public and changing all the time.

I'm not commenting until I see what's written,

We are looking at well over 56,000 customers who are in danger of disconnection. However, the good news is if people give us a call, try to work out some type of payment arrangement or apply for energy assistance, they won't face disconnection.
