Academic Probation

Including loosing my grandparents who were my last bit of familial support in 2014, being sexually assaulted causing me to have to withdraw from several classes, being rushed to UF Health/Shands emergency room, and being admitted to Meridian, a psychiatric Behavioral Institute, for a period of time. After a few visits to the Counseling and Wellness Center, I learned that everyone goes through something but your reaction to your circumstances is what is the determinative factor of your strength and future success. I could easily use these negative situations as an excuse for my actions, which would only make my situation even worse. Or I could accept my wrong doings and keep fighting for the opportunity that was given to me in 2012 when I was admitted to the University of Florida. Attending the University of Florida is not a want of my it is a necessity, words cannot explain the endless opportunities I have been awarded while being a student here. As a child it seemed like a goal that will never be achieved considering my severe circumstances of poverty. The reason I continue to stress the importance of opportunity is because without the University of Florida I do not know if the doors will open again or where I will end. But I know right here and right now I have to fight for the last hope I have in me,

I ended that fall with a 1.4 GPA, and was placed on academic probation. Truly, I contemplated dropping out that semester. But instead, I was driven to increase my cumulative GPA through general education credits. I conquered academic probation in one semester, and raised my GPA by an entire letter grade (1.4 to a 2.7.) My academic probation advisor, Valeria Martinez, said she hadn’t seen anyone work as hard or change as positively as I had in the spring of 2014. I also decided to join the Army ROTC program on campus, to help retain the effort I had begun to put in, to stay out of trouble, and to redefine a direction and focus. However, while I was finishing the process of academic probation, I was sexually assaulted at a work party that happened off campus. There had been alcohol involved, and it was someone I knew, but that didn’t override the lack of consent and the deterioration of my self-esteem from the actions that had taken

In August of 2012, at Grand Rapids Community College, I was placed on Academic Probation due to my cumulative GPA dropping below the 2.0 threshold. Prior to this action, I was not driven to take the action to perform well in my classes. I was lost in the options for my future and unaware of where I would end up. It was this lack of focus and drive that reflected in my performance. This was a strong turning point in my life, and after being placed on academic probation I came to appreciate the repercussions I was facing by not prioritizing my education. It was in this year that I decided on where I wanted my college career to take me. Through the influential factors I discussed in my personal statement, I had both my mind and my future set on

In order to study the past, present and future implications of the probation and parole system, I had to study the history of both. I will begin with the history of probation and then talk about the history of parole. I will also talk about how probation and parole work in the present and how and what will happen to both probation and parole in the future.

I do believe that my Reg board was the start of when my life went off the track that I had wanted it to and this separation is further confirmation of that. I don’t think my life is off track though, even in spite of these setback, I would like for my parents to think that my life is going the way it should, because I don’t think the right path – through West Point or otherwise is too far away. I didn’t want them to worry about me when I wasn’t home, and I don’t think I want them to worry more about me

THE SECOND I FOUND OUT I WAS PREGNANT I HAD ALREADY STOPPED ASSOCIATING WITH THE NEGATIVE PEOPLE IN MY LIFE PRIOR TO THIS AND SHORTLY AFTER I BEGAN WORKING FULL TIME, GOT MY OWN APARTMENT, AND VECHILE. I BASICALLY SET GOALS FOR MYSELF AND WORKED HARD AT THEM TO GET ME WHERE I AM TODAY. MY PLAN NOW IS TO CONTINUE DOING WHAT’S BEST FOR ME AND MY SON WHILE FINSHING UP WITH MY SCHOOL THAT I WILL COMPLETE IN MAY 2018 AS A GUIDANCE COUNSLOR FOR TROUBLED TEENS. IT IS MY PASSION TO WORK WITH CHILDREN AND SOMETHING I AM BEST AT. WITH ALL THE RECENT MORE RESPONSIBLE CHANGES I HAVE MADE IN MY LIFE ARE SOME OF THE REASON I BELIEVE THAT I WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR PROBATION. I HAVE MY HEAD ON STRAIGHT AND MY GOALS IN TACT AND PLAN TO ONLY MOVE FOWARD FROM HERE TO STRIVE TO BE THE BEST ROLE MODEL, MOTHER, AND PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY THAT I CAN BE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, UNDERSTANDING, AND COOPERATION. ALL OF WHICH ARE GREATLY

When it came to planning for my future career, I knew that I wanted to be successful in helping others around me and making the world a positive place. I wanted to be a part of making the world a better place and help the people in it with working to improve themselves. Through research, I came to the conclusion that becoming a probation officer would be a more suitable career for me and the goals I want to accomplish.

For anyone who has had the unfortunate experience of being placed on probation, the biggest fear is violating and being sent to prison. In some circumstances this is a result of multiple incidents, while in other jurisdictions, it is after one minor slip up. So what are these circumstances, what is the violation process, and just how much power does the probation officer have? These are just a few of the questions that will be answered in the following essay.

At that time, he signed the rules and regulations associated with his responsibilities while under community supervision and he was also informed of his stipulations relative to his current probation period.

Federal probation was put in place to suspend a current sentence of an inmate and place them under the supervision on a qualified agency for a period of time to either free up the jail from nonviolent offenders or to try rehabilitate the offender from any future criminal acts. The development of the federal probation system began in 1925 when a bill was passed and signed by President Coolidge (Alarid, 2015). Before then, federal probation was rejected as an idea many times because it was introduced during the Prohibition Era. The National Probation Act that supported federal probation was put into effect, but it wasn’t until the mid-1900 that the federal probation law was fully working and overwhelmed as well. Since the work load got to intense

In 1985, The Community Corrections Program was created by law. It allowed sentencing of non-violent felony offenders to community-based alternatives to imprisonment in order to reserve confinement for violent offenders in the state of Tennessee. The goal of the program was to reduce the probability of continued criminal behavior while maintaining the safety of the community. The Community Corrections Program allowed taxpayers dollars to be diverted from the high costs of confinement for non-violent offenders. The state contracted with local governments and qualified private agencies to develop a range of front-end community-based supervision and resource services for eligible offenders.

The history of probation and parole influences the decisions that are made in the Adult Court System toward the supervision of adult offenders by considering community corrections and involve supervision in the community. In the criminal justice system, there are many individuals locked up in local, state, and federal institutions. John Augustus probation bears much resemblance to probation as it is practiced today. He took great care in deciding which prisoners were promising candidates for probation. He also considers the offender’s character, age and factors that would have an impact on the offender after being released. His efforts actually were resisted by police, court clerks, and turnkeys who were paid only when offenders were incarcerated (Klein, 1997). The punishment for violating probation or parole is to continue supervision or to withdraw and incarcerate the offender.

Probation and parole are an important part of the criminal justice process, and both are

Parole boards serve as the guiding body for a jurisdiction’s parole process and policies. The board determines which inmates should be granted early release from prison and which parolees should have their parole terminated or revoked for violation of their condition of parole (Bethel, 2014).
