Impact of ÄûÃʵ¼º½: ÄûÃʵ¼º½ has made a tremendous impact on me, allowing me to further my education and be the first in my family to graduate. ÄûÃʵ¼º½ has made me more confident in my life choices, and in myself. ÄûÃʵ¼º½ and this experience always reminded me to persevere and accomplish the goals that I set in my life. ÄûÃʵ¼º½ helped me grow into the adult I am now.
An important lesson learned: I learned that many obstacles may alter your path, but as long as you keep your head up and keep going your goals will come to light. I learned to cherish these moments you will not get back as you will graduate and go on in life.
Plans for the future: I hope to apply what I have learned throughout my time at ÄûÃʵ¼º½ and accept a job as a crime scene investigator. I recently received a job opportunity as a crime scene technician in the forensic department. While considering this opportunity I am currently exploring other opportunities presented to me within the criminal justice field. I will continue my education to strive for my master’s after years of experience in the criminal justice field. Thank you to my parents, this would not be possible without them.
