  • A Career: The Career Of A Forensic Detective

    848 Words  | 2 Pages

    I chose to research the profession of a homicide detective. This profession interests me because I find solving a puzzle satisfying, by picking up the pieces (evidence) and fitting them together I can solve the mystery of the homicide. This of course is something I will have to work toward, as I cannot become one right out of the gate. First I will have to be a police officer. I have to be a police officer first because I need to gain experience in the criminal justice world and with victims/ suspects. Depending on the town I choose to pursue my career in I could have to start as a patrol officer or at a jail. I am doing things now to try and set myself apart from other candidates so if the time does ever come for a promotion I can be one step

    When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be something that had to do with Criminal Justice. Why? Well because I use to watch a lot of those crime shows when I was younger and they always had my full attention. Plus my aunt is a sheriff so when I could I would go to work with her and I get an even closer hand on look at CSI work. So going with her made me even more interested day by day. At that moment I knew what I wanted to be when I finished high school.

  • The Importance Of Being A Criminal Justice

    807 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have seen that being a criminal justice major is awesome, because the jobs that are associated with a criminal justice major are really interesting to me. Being a criminal justice major has been something that I have wanted to do since I was watching crime TV shows when I was a little kid. These shows had most of my interest and the character that I would love to be is obviously the lead detective. I have always wanted to be the one who caught the break in the case that eventually led to the apprehension of the person that committed the crime. That is why I watched shows like Monk, Criminal Minds, Psych, etc. Basically if the show had crime in it and there were people trying to catch the criminal I was most likely glued to the TV. There have also been a lot of issues surrounding the criminal justice field that I find interesting. Some of these issues have touched on whether or not law enforcement should monitor cities’ more closely, due to the recent attacks on U.S. soil. The major that I have decided to go with seems to really fit me and I am anxious to start learning more about this field, and I am glad that I am not going to have to be on the front lines. I want to be a forensic accountant because I know it will always interest me throughout life. I am glad that I will not be surrounded by the tension that comes with respecting citizen rights and cops overstepping their boundaries between laws and respecting citizens’ rights.

    My name’s Molly. I turned 21 in March, and I still live at home with my mama, aka, my best friend. I’m in the Criminal Justice program, and this is my second semester (in this program) 4th semester total. It’s a long story. Basically I took one semester getting all of the core classes out of the way, and then I did a semester in the Marketing/Graphic Design program. I eventually learned that wasn’t my thing, so now I’m finally studying something I’m very interested in which is Law. Police officers have always intrigued me, so it’s what I intend to do once I graduate. If not, then perhaps a dispatcher, corrections officer, or something related. Helping others and putting bad guys in their place is what excites me. That, and correct

  • Job Hunting Survey

    225 Words  | 1 Pages

    When an individual needs a job or a change of scenery in a work environment we look for a different employment and start job hunting. In the Job-hunting survey I scored a low score; my experience with job hunting is very low. I have worked with the same company for nine years and have not had the need to look for another job. Even though sometimes I want to have a job closer to home or more pay I always tend to back out on the change and continue with the job I have. When it comes to change I get nervous and scared and because I’m afraid that I’m not going to succeed in the other location I decide to stay with my current employment and deal with traffic and the pay. This survey helped me realize that even though I have been in my employment

  • Evaluating My Competency

    1190 Words  | 3 Pages

    So, as far as evaluating my own competency in teaching my initial response would be that it is a skill that I severely need to work on, but that is when it is in the formal and intentional setting. I am not organized with my thought process, presentation style, or materials/schedule. If a group of students were to take a basic lecture class where I was the instructor right now, they would go straight to RateMyProfessor.com and rip me to shreds. However, if students took a discussion based, interactive class under my facilitation it would be a much different story. That is because I would teach through stories, and teach through the students. I would want them to learn more from each other than from me. I already practice this style of teaching in the way I lead Bible studies in my sorority. Guiding conversations with organized material, but generally letting the students choose the course.
