Abstract of written response
The debate concerned whether or not the United
States should use patient diplomacy against Iran
and its nuclear weapons program. My position on
the topic was that the US should open up the
conversational gates and use a form of diplomacy
to solve the nuclear issue with Iran. It would
be a much more logical method versus going to war
with another country, which would be detrimental
for the United States at this point in time.
Being that we are a super power it would be wise
of Iran to side with the United States and work
toward a nuclear free world.

•  To Whom It May Concern,   
• It is my pleasure to recommend Kayla Korn, her
  performance interning at Dolce Moda proved that
  she will be a valuable addition to any company. I
  have known Kayla for two years in my capacity as
  Owner of Dolce Moda Inc.
• Kayla worked for me on various projects such as
  helping with customers, styling for the store and
  fashion shows along with the business aspects of
  running a retail store.  I would rank her as one
  of the best interns we have ever had. 
• Kayla distinguished herself by working
  diligently, was very organized, and had a
  wonderful report with our customers and models.
  Kayla is highly intelligent and has good
  analytical and communication skills. If her
  performance in our company is a good indication
  of how she would perform in yours, she would be
  an extremely positive asset to your program.
