Personal Narrative: My Career As A FBI Agent

I was indecisive of my future career path. My mom would tell me the classic “You should be a lawyer” or “You should be a doctor.” I would go along with her idea for a couple weeks until I jumped off the bandwagon. I wasn’t passionate about either of those fields; I was interested in both math and science and as a young girl. As I got older, I became invested in technology due to my love of gaming, but I didn’t know that people devote their lives to technology until I interned.

Fortunately for me, I found my calling at a young age. My career choices have ranged anywhere between becoming a neurosurgeon to a child therapist. It took me a while to realize they all had a common theme, helping others. Growing up with an absent father, I always hoped for a male teacher to see what grown men are like. I noticed early on that there is a lack of male teachers in the education system, making me start to consider the educational field. In 6th grade, I met my jazz band director and great friend, Greg Mckelvey. I met him over six years ago, and to this day he still checks to see if I am okay every morning. His example has shown me that I can help others in the same way. Subconsciously, my interests had shifted towards teaching.

This was my second year in the law enforcement program and I had the feeling that this was definitely something that I really wanted to do. My first year in law enforcement definitely caught my attention and I really had a desire to continue down the law enforcement path. I really looked forward to doing my job shadows. I knew that I would be able to go to a lot of different police agencies, different county's courthouse and even get to go to the different county’s jails which would really help me decide what I really wanted to do in law enforcement.

A woman tied up to a bed, blood dripping from the stab wounds all over her body, blood all over the room you can tell she tried to put up a fight but got the bad end of it. He looks around for a murder weapon in the room. In a corner of the room a knife was discovered on the dresser. Where the killer left it when he exited the room, on the door a bloody hand mark was left from the killer. He leaves knowing his work is never done. He heads back to offices to go over the crime scene photos and the weapon to look for fingerprints on the weapon, he looks for any hair or skein under her nails or on her body that can help with the case to find out who the killer was.

Prior to becoming a Police Officer

When I was younger I wanted to be a police officer or a nurse.I could not pick between the two. They both had things I wanted in a career. Police officers and Nurses both have relationships with people, they help others, and they are exciting jobs. I did not know what career I would choose until two years ago my uncle passed from pancreatic cancer. While it was a sad time it also made me choose what I wanted in life. I wanted to be a nurse.

The career I chose was a Elementary School Teacher.I chosen that career because I really like teaching people and help them understand more.Some

There was one day I was supervising everyone and I decided to play music. I love to sing, so that is mostly what I was known for in that class. I played Just The Way You Are by Bruno Mars for one of the kids. One of the teachers, Donna, said to me that I would make a fantastic Special Education teacher. That one comment really made me think about my future. That was the moment that I decided that I wanted to be a teacher.

In elementary school, they would always ask us what we wanted to be. Like the grade schooler that I was, my mind would change faster than even I could keep track. At that age, I was not unlike the other kids who wanted to be brave firefighters or valiant astronauts, although I admit now the aspect of space travel scares me. And then of course the all so popular veterinarian profession I have chosen to pursue as of today, or “Animal Doctor” as we called it then. But

Everyone has given thought to what they want to be when they grow up. Ever since I was little all the way until high school I just wanted a job that made me the most successful and gave me the greatest sum of money. I never really thought about getting a job that actually meant something special to me, until I attended an event that changed my whole life, the Special Olympics.

Like many kids, It was difficult for me to decide which career path I wanted to take. Every year I would change my mind from one career to another, but in tenth grade I set my mind on dentistry as a prospective career path. As I researched more about becoming a dentist, I quickly became fond of the career. All of the classes I took, clubs I joined, and decisions I made afterwards were influenced by my goal.

My careers changes a lot within the years but I’ve always had a certain 5 in my head that is a must for me! I have to be one of those if the other doesn’t work out when I was little I would always play school with my cousins and one time I thought to myself when I get older I would like to become a pre-k teacher!! Most people would think becoming a pre-k teacher is very hard mainly because you are dealing with kids and that is true it can be very hard because you are dealing with very little kids but if you enjoy the company of kids being a pre-k teacher should be a no

I found my passion to be a journalist in the first grade. Most individuals don’t even know what they want to be at that age. However, I knew from a young age that I loved to read and write. In my free time I would mostly read novels and write stories about the supernatural. Having that passion in my life to read and write was a big influence. I never felt that I was forced to do this. I loved what I was doing, and that was a big motivator for me. Although elementary was one of the main beginning points for my emphasis in Communications, and theater in high school and currently college played great influence’s as well and really helped me develop confidence, strengthen my mindset, and as individual help me reach my goals.
