Becoming An Auto-Mechanic-Personal Narrative

I want to be a security guard. I want to be a guard because I like to make people feel safe. I also like to get paid.

When I was 7 years old my friends and I were playing cops and robbers at recess, and I thought being a cop was really cool. So whenever my teachers asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I said a cop. I also wanted to be a cop because my mom watched this show called cops, and when I was younger it was a really cool show, but now I don’t like it.

My grandmother always taught me to stay true to myself and stand out in whatever I choose to do. She would say " Do what makes you happy honey". I wanted to be a teacher, lawyer, police officer and even some kind of superhero, Superwomen perhaps. She told me I could be anything I wanted then asked me what all those careers had in commom. I never thought about it until I actually figured out what I was truly wanted to be, A nurse and utlimatly a Nurse Practitioner serving in the United States Air force.

I come from a family of police officers, not exclude my dog who is a purpose patrol canine.I have never desired to become an officer due to the risk, but I always knew that I wanted to be in a field similar to my relatives so I could remain relevant. This drew my interest to law from a young age. However, I found stability in numbers and finance, which I appreciated and enjoyed. This has led me to merge finance and law in the most efficient way I can, meaning I have to take leadership roles in order to pursue my two passions.

My goal is to attend a North Carolina university to get a bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice. I want to be a police officer. This will give me the chance to protect and serve my community. With this career choice I will be able to help make my community a safer place.

I wanted to be a firefighter when I was younger, because I wanted to help people and save lives. As I have gotten older, I began to think that wanting to be a firefighter was a dumb idea because I was too chubby, too small, and too afraid. This was after a really bad experience which caused be to become afraid of almost everything, I was becoming very depressed, consequently, I was starting to give up on my dreams of college, of family, and of my future in general.

Every since I was little I have always been fascinated and interested in police officer. As I got older I stared to research and learn about the duties of a law enforcement officer, I’ve always wanted to serve the public and serve my country. Hopefully after I graduate college I want to do a few years’ worth of service in the United States Military, and when I come back I want to use my degree and experience to work in a state or city police department.

I still didn’t know who most of these people were, my roommates were polar opposites of each other; the only trait they shared was an ability to stay up and leave the lights on for way longer than I could, classwork was kind of a pain, and what is this stuff I’m eating for dinner? I began to find comfort by creating constants in my schedule. I would use the same shower stall every morning, eat the same food for meals, and sleep more than I probably should have. This acted as another source of comfort to help me avoid always being called back to memories of the close bonds I had made at home and at work. I would try my best to stifle these feelings and just push through, and this resulted in more extreme introversion than I had ever displayed before. Every time I had free time I would withdraw to my music and books from home, and avoid contact with most others. The only time I spent getting to know others outside of classes was during meals, and even then it was only with a limited group of people I got to know right away and felt slightly more comfortable with than I did with the others.

One day I was talking to a police officer, and he told me that if you like to protect the people this maybe the job for you. I instantly thought about and decided what I wanted to be. Being a police officer because it interest me to protect others. Some other reasons why I feel that this job is for me because I can handle the school work. Also being a police officer there’s a lot of benefits that not every job gets to have. Another reason why I want to be police officer is the work environment, I don’t really want to be stuck at a desk.

Growing up I always use to think that I would amount to be a professional athlete. Well that is still not out of the realm of possibilities, but I decided to take my talents elsewhere, a place where I could make a difference in this world, a police detective. I saw a detectives work on TV. This is where I fell in love with what they do. Then after doing research on the topic and interviewing Deputy Cooper, I knew that this is what I really want to do with my life. I love the fact that no day is the same as another one, that everything is random! Although a police detective may not be favorable to most people because of the risk factors, it’s the best

by the time we graduated high school. Growing up catholic I was always taught to put my faith

I never truly started deeply thinking into my faith and paying attention in church till about 7th and 8th grade. When I listened in church I started liking what I was hearing and payed attention every service. I slowly became closer to God and started to know him better. My parents always got into a habit of praying every night before I went to bed but other than that Jesus wasn’t on my mind

There are many religions in the world that people belong to or believe in. Believing in something higher gives us a strong hold on motivation and faith. Many people are born into a religion, but not everyone continues to believe or follow the religion they grew up in. As we get older we start to understand why we practice our beliefs and not the others.

As to be expected given the strong Christian upbringing I had, the first several years of my life following the ability to think for myself (to a degree) I was unshakeable in my faith. As a child, I had dutifully attended Church every single Sunday with barely any exceptions and heavily engaged with the community. I'd always look forward to Sunday school and learning about Christ along with attending youth club meetings every week on Wednesdays. I had even made developed a hobby for preaching and chattering about Christianity with other Christian children my age. There was no one that could possibly turn me away from my faith in God... or so I had thought.

As a child, I always dreamt of joining law enforcement. My dad peaked my interest in the field. Years ago, he was a Correctional officer for the Weld County Sheriff’s office; I always admired him for what he did. I knew right then, that is exactly what I wanted to do.
