Ever since I was a freshman in High School I knew I wanted to be a Police Officer. It started as an interest in doing the right thing. I picked up trash along the sides of roads once the snow melted, if I got more change back from a cashier, I would return the extra money to them. I understood the importance of giving back.

Knowing in the back of my head but not always thinking about how much time i’ve actually spent here my whole life. Quickly reminiscing all the years of hard work and determination

I was deeply hurt by this unexpected event. However, this event became providence for me, where out of it would be one of the greatest gifts. Because of my landlord’s unusual attachment to me, which quickly bordered on her becoming a stalker, I was helped by the Blue Earth County Human Services, who found temporary housing for me, as they arranged to collect my belongings from where I had been residing. Because of the nature of my assistance, the county required that I take some counseling. After

Have you ever just wanted to go to a state that has over 10,000 lakes? If so, then Minnesota is the place for you. I have been coming here ever since I was just a little guy. Here is a little story of my Minnesota visits. First of all, the main reason I like Minnesota is because of my grandparents. My grandma makes the best food I have ever had.
