  1. Lacey --

    You have comma spliced down, but the majority of your run-on sentences really aren't run-ons. For example, the first sentence is fine the way it is because there aren't two complete sentences -- just one independent clause and one dependent clause.

    It would be good for you to do some additional review on this as well.

    Thanks,

    Nick
