Throughout my life, I have always been in awe of the police officers that I watched on the television shows and soon began to imagine myself in blue uniform ready to protect my community. I fantasied about tracking down and catching the bad guys, but since growing up I have a new desire of understanding why the perpetrator committed the crime. After years of people asking me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I never truly believed that I would be studying criminal justice to peruse my dream. To help obtain my dream profession, I set multiple short and long term goals that will help guide me.
The short-term goals I established are simple, but have a great impact on what I hope to achieve in the future. After completing my associate’s degree

After finishing my degree, I plan to use my education to earn job that pays well so that I will be able to sustain a family comfortably. Growing up, my parents managed our household by living paycheck to paycheck. Although we always make it by, I have seen the stress it has caused my parents because sometimes they cannot provide everything for my sister or me. From this experience, I have learned that I want to be able to provide a comfortable lifestyle for my wife and children. With my criminal justice degree, my goal is to become either a homicide detective or a United States Air Marshal. I have always found detective work fascinating: whether on the television or in real-life. Detectives skillfully analyze a crime scene from sometimes so little evidence and I want to possess the knowledge to do the same. I am also interested in becoming an air marshal because I have always wanted to travel around the world. Not only would I experience the world, but I would be able to protect thousands of lives in the process.

Attainment of the Aspire scholarship will help me to pursue my collegiate goal. Finances have always been a barrier for me and my mother growing up.

Receiving a post secondary education is something I have not only dreamed about but also something I have worked very hard to achieve. Neither of my parents had the opportunity to attend college, but have worked diligently to help create a better future for me. Although my parents have worked extremely hard, college is still very expensive for me. With my family being a low income family, this is ultimately why I seek scholarship assistance to help pursue my dreams and take the financial burden college would leave my parents and I.
For as long as I can remember I have wanted to be a police officer. I’m sure, as a little boy, what first caught my attention were the flashing lights and sirens on the police cars. It could have also been then the facts that police officer were permitted to carry a gun and had the ability to run red lights. This is why as I grew up and played games like cops and robbers, I was always the police officer. During my teenage years, I later joined the police explorer program and really started to learn about police work. That’s when I
Having goals is just like having guidelines to your future like little sign posts telling you where you’re at and where your going and if you need to turn back and take a different road. I will write about some of the goals that will take me throughout the next five years to achieve. The goals I’ve set for myself are completing basic training, I will move on and complete my advanced individual training, after that I will graduate and get a spot for airborne school, those are just a few of the first steps and there are more in between that ill talk about.
Setting goals gives your life direction, and helps your motivation and self-confidence. Goals are very important to me because they keep me on track and they help keep me organized. I have three sets of goals from short, medium, and long term.
My long term goal is to become a professional soccer player. In 10 years, I see myself playing for Manchester City F.C. Choosing this goal was important because I can't see myself doing anything else for a career other than being a professional soccer player and i have been playing soccer for as long as I can remember. The satisfaction of playing soccer is that it is fun, I can play with all of my friends and no matter what you can always be getting better. The relationship that school has with me reaching my goals is getting that I need to get good grades and so I can play for a high school team and I think that playing with a high school team would be very beneficial I will be able to play at a higher and faster level.
Starting off with my short term goals. An important short term goal for me is to improve my English language proficiency for many reasons. Firstly would give me the ability to help me with my life in many ways which include the ability to easily contact other people from around the world when I travel abroad. Improving my English language wouldn’t just be for the benefit for travelling or contacting people, It has become an important issue that gives me the ability to help expand businesses around the world and it is a good way for increasing my opportunities to find a good job.
