To the student who stole my play...

Heidi,

I'm sorry to hear that you took one of my plays and said it was your own. I love sharing my writing but not when people steal it.  This is a copyright violation and can have a fine anywhere from $200 to $150,000. Adults get punished badly for these kinds of things. It is better to learn about this now as a kid rather than make this kind of mistake as an adult.  

So here is your second chance. Make it count. Make something good of your life and create something new and wonderful! Be a positive force in the world. 

Stealing is lazy and hurts others. End the hurting and start healing by doing something good.

Sincerely,
D. M. Larson
