What Is Your Ideal Career?

My ideal career goal is to successfully complete all the training and classes I need so I can become a proficient result of protection to our humanity. My desired goal is to become a crime scene investigator so that I cannot only help take crime off the street but feel a sense of gratitude solving cases. I also love teamwork and with that I would love working with others that would be in this profession. By choosing to study criminal justice and not forensics, as I was studying before, I feel will help shape me more towards my future. I am hoping to learn all that I can because knowledge I believe is one of the keys to success. Ever since I saw the very first episode of law and order, I was hooked. I thought to myself that this job gives you so much life. It’s interesting, challenging, and right down my alley, Also, majority of my family are either police officer or serving for our country. So it’s in my blood. Currently I am taking this class CJ100-03 and another class CJ101-12. Those two classes are the start to hopefully my promising future.

Criminal justice is the application or study of laws regarding criminal behavior. It’s the system of law enforcement, the bar, the judiciary, and probation that is involved in the apprehension, sentencing, supervision of criminal offenses. Growing up I never thought about criminal justice. I always had my mind set on being a doctor. As I grew older I began to loathe doctors when I saw how much I had to wait in the doctors office for a prescription for some Motrin and rest. Boring to say the least. Well, one day when I was 12, my uncle took me to his job at the 67th prescient here in Brooklyn. He gave me a small chair at the side of his desk. I saw how much police officers worked so hard to keep crimes at a minimum. But the thing that stuck with me was the smile my uncle had after he came back to his desk...
