My name is Shakeyia and I'm 18 years old and my major is Criminal Justice. I am on my last year here at LaGuardia and I must admit my time thus far has been quite swell.I am transfering to John Jay college of Criminal Justice after this and I want to have my Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice by the time I reach the age of 21 in two more years. I expect to learn a lot in this course and hopefully start my internship by next semester. Honestly, if I didn't have to take this course I wouldn't be in this class blogging at this very moment.
I'm a very loving and outgoing person and I love to interact with people. I am very assertive and head strong. I'm social and confident and I like to refur to myself as a social butterfly lol. With this being said I do have somewhat of a snobbish personality when it comes to certain things I don't agree on. Other then this I'm a great personality with excellent verbal communication skills. I love to learn new things and I'm always looking for a challenge and I feel that the Criminal Justice system will give me an everlasting challenge that I will conquer everyday.
The reason I want to join the criminal justice field is because I love authority and I feel that I have a lot to offer the people that enter this field whether through the job field or the criminal field. I'm going to be a Federal Parole Office and I feel that I will be the best Parole Officer the Federal Gov't has ever seen. The reason I choose this career is because I feel that I have a lot to offer these ex-cons given the fact that I have one on one experience with individuals coming in and out of the State and Federal prison system. I want to help these people because I feel that the Criminal Justice system is just one big revolving door and all I see is individuals coming in and out of it and I want to STOP that revolving door. I want to help people better themselves and stay on the outside of the prison system because growing up I have seen too many individuals lost to the streets or the criminal justice system because of parole officers who care more about their paycheck then helping the people at hand. I feel that I have a lot to offer these people given the fact that I know where they came from and I know and understand the challenges they've faced thus far.
Hi Shakeyia,
ReplyDeleteI am impressed with the passion you are bringing to your major. Hopefully, "the system" will not burn that passion out. I hope you find this course useful and you get a chance to catch up on your posts.
