Reflection: Academic Path
The last thing on my mind when graduating high school in 2005 was what I wanted to do in life. Throughout all my schooling I was a decent student, stayed out of trouble, the social butterfly that was on the go, and always surrounded by friends. The closer I got to graduation, the more I felt like I was the only person who had no clue about what I wanted to do. Instead of working through my future plans I just avoided them. Avoiding my fears of the future led to lots of partying, reckless behavior and a pregnancy at the age of 22. To this day, I still say that my son saved my life. The love and need to be the best mom I could be led me to the job I am at today. Next month makes 18 years working in money services and now I am ready to do even more with the career path that I love so much.
I chose to pursue a bachelors of science in Justice Studies at GCU. I have always been fascinated with human behavior, criminal justice and psychology. Working in money services we
are trained in Anti-money laundering, financial crimes, threat assessment, suspicious behavior and how to handle these situations if they arise. I will always be thankful for the opportunities and knowledge I have gained at my job but the change I want to make in people’s lives and in the community can’t be done sitting behind my desk.
After I complete my degree I plan on immediately starting my career. Some of the options I plan to consider or pursue are to become a counselor at the jail, working at the police department with threat assessment, criminal profiling, or possibly working with the courts as a victims witness advocate. At the end of the day, as long as I am working in the Justice system and making a difference to help someone or to prevent crime then I will be where I want to be.
