I already succeed the short-term goal for being a criminal justice teacher. I was a tutor for kids at a after school program. I volunteered at a police station in the secretary office. My jobs were to insert reports into computer. By abling to insert the reports in the computer I was able to learn the codes and the laws of the criminal justice system. I also achieved another shoterm goal by taking a citizen police academy in Wichita, Kansas. By taking this class I was able to learn what the officers do day by day on the streets of Wichita as a police officer. One day they let the students watch how a police dog was able to detect drugs and bombs. Also we has students were allowed to sign up to ride along with the Highway Patrol and the Wichita

    I have known Melody for over 10 years. I have watched her grow academically and professionally from a high school student in an International Baccalaureate Scholars program, to someone who is passionate about her career in the law field. As a peer, has been a source of motivation and an example of what hard work and commitment looks like. I remember when she first started working for Legal Aid of North Carolina soon after graduating from college. She started off as a volunteer and invested time with the company for about 3 months before being offered a position. Most graduates would have rather been applying to paid jobs versus making that sacrifice for a company post-graduation. Then, after about a year and a half working at Legal Aid NC as…

Police officers apprehend criminals, write tickets, investigate crimes and ensure that the protection of the criminal justice system is available. All law enforcement agencies require that new applicants have completed a law enforcement training academy and at least 2 years of college, although some departments require only a high school diploma and a clear criminal record but an associates or a bachelor degree is prefer. However all applicants must meet all of the written, psychological and physical standards applied by the POST exams and pass a background check and a polygraph test.…

    I have chosen to return to school and pursue a Master’s degree in Criminal Justice for a couple of reasons. The first reason is to increase my personal knowledge of the Criminal Justice system which includes police trends, criminal/civil courts, juvenile justice and other aspects of law enforcement. During my experience as commissioned officer for the past four years I have learned that in order to consider myself as an experienced officer and train others in law enforcement, I have to increase my knowledge base in all areas of Criminal Justice through education. This would give me credibility if I chose to be a Field Training Officer or an instructor at a law enforcement training academy. In order for me to be confident in a supervisory position…

    My educational goals and plans involve criminal justice, human services, and vet science. I went to Niacc for two years to try and get my Criminal Justice degree. I took several classes for it, but fell short of money to finish what I needed to graduate. I have always been interested in T.V. shows like Criminal Minds and Law and Order: SVU, 48 Hours, and Dateline. Those shows give me the idea of what I want to do and who I want to be like. I don't know the destined occupation in that career field that I want to do. I would be okay with any job in that career field though. I have much respect for police officers and fire fighters. I always told myself I want to be like them someday. I want to be a hero to someone. I want to go the extra…

    Before this year I was always dead set on being a high school history teacher and thought that I never wanted to teach anything else. During the fall semester I was placed in a sixth grade class for my observation hours and at first I was kind of upset about it. Once I experience a middle school classroom I was still on the fence about what grades I wanted to teach, but I figured I would take this course anyway. I am so happy I did because I decided I want to do my student teaching in middle school. I have realized this is such a unique time in children’s lives and I want more of the molding aspect rather than solely teaching like at the high school level. I want to not only educate students in history, but also have it relate to their every…

    My educational goals can be said to be broken down into three parts that are really the means to my ends which is the fourth and most important goal. First, Im working on getting good grades in every class, I want to work on having and maintaining a high competitive GPA. My second goal is to get my Bachelors in Political Science in an ideal time frame of two more years. My third goal and one that is out of my hands, one may say, is getting a scholarship. I know there is a large amount of competitive students in the school, who are well deserving of scholarships but I need this scholarship to alleviate my parents from their stress and hard work to keep up with my payments. The last and really my main goal, where my eyes are set and where I,…

    My education will never be complete. This knowledge affords me the ability to grow each and every day. It teaches me to question the world and to learn from these questions. I learn through different lenses and circumstances I experience each day. At seventeen, I am nowhere near complete. I am young. I am flawed. I am naïve. What I have learned has led me down different paths in order to achieve different milestones on my own journey. I am strong. I am creative. I am poised...but most importantly I am learning. My education has allowed me to learn about myself, about others, and about the world. I am evolving through the educational process and through the effort of acquiring knowledge. I have no idea what I will learn tomorrow --some days…

    The police said it was a robbery and that my father car was found stripped and left up on blocks. My father was barely hanging on for dear life when one of the attorneys from his old job came to tell me that his disability would now be cut off because there would be no way to tell if his injuries was from the job or from the robbery. Oh, but if that wasn’t adding salt to an already open wound, Mack Cannoli arrived to ask me how was I going to pay my father’s debt now that he can’t. What the man had offered as a way to help pay the debt had me taking a swing at him, but his men stopped me. Luckily, the police officer who was investigating the robbery walked in.…

    Working at the Public Defender Service for District of Columbia (PDSDC) was an experience that I truly cherish and one that really opened my eyes to the impact a dedicated public interest attorney can make in people's lives.

Volunteering as a case-screener for the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project allows me to do exactly that, while also gaining more valuable legal experience.…

    My roles and responsibilities of a criminal justice professional is to serve all those who need it. It's my responsibilities not judge people on their race, religion or economic demographics but to do my job as the best of my abilities no matter the circumstances. Most importantly to me I want to help those who need it most those who have lost all faith in what this country is supposedly build one justice and freedom. “For justice to be true justice, it must be fair. It must be administered equally and exactly to all.” (The Making of America, p. 239). Although I don't have a role in the criminal justice system now I would hope I can play an important role in breaking our corrupt system. Since I’m not sure would type of career as a criminal justice professional I will have I expect that it would make a positive difference in at least one-person life. I guess politics would be a great fit for me with my ideas and thoughts on how to change things for the better. I aim to create new policies and laws to adapt to the ever-changing society we live in. My plan is for my profession to mainly help low income communities, making sure they receive the necessities such as food, education and public housing. To promote the goal of justice they need educate people that's already in the criminal justice field and make sure their doing their job correctly, which will instill trust in the community. They need to listen to the people most affected by the decisions of public officials. Their presence need to be in the public not just when there is a crime. There are many challenges in the field of criminal justice. Most people in the field are corrupted and racist. Departments should offer more training on how to deal with situations other than violent tactics. They should add more requirements to certain jobs, multiple extensive psychological exams to weed out the unfit individuals the public…
