Narrative

I never had a problem with writing, yeah I procrastinate who doesn't? But once I had an intro I'm all set, I could just keep writing and writing. Narratives are probably one of the easiest pieces of papers to write. There's no right or wrong way, you simply write about you, and no one knows you better than you. Narratives are my favorite, I can usually come up with a story right away that fits the prompt. However, this narrative has me completely stuck. It's just very intimating to me. I think it's the question that's intimating to me, "why did you decide to go into Law Enforcement?" It's a question that I know the answer to because of past experience but I just can't get the right wording out of me. I'm a double major in two completely different subjects, yet they both aim to help the lives of people. For Law Enforcement it's to promote the common good. For Science and Exercise Movement it's for the health of the people. I am born and raised from Chicago, acts of violence is not new to me, I just knew to stay out of it. I have witnessed young boys running for their lives as their being chased from a mob, me myself get followed to and from the gas station, people I grew up with coming in and out the system, my father spending half his life on court, paying thousands and thousands of dollars on lawyers, and missing out on so many opportunities just so they he can get his license back. So many issues going on in our world now that we cannot ignore. I fear for everyone I love back at home because you can never tell what's going to happen. Our system is corrupt, yet we see no real changes being made. I have met so many great people going into Law Enforcement and professors here at Lewis that were involved that I wonder how our system would be if everyone had that passion and determination to make a change in peoples' lives. I'm stuck on this people because I have so many answers that it's impossible to put it on paper. I do not feel secure or protected by the system we have now. It is not a system that I would want my kids someday to live in. I think we can all agree that we live in a messed up corrupt world, but what are we going to do to change those statistics?

Final Reflective Post

Dear Past Self,  I want you to know how far you have come since the beginning of freshman year, and even last semester, as a writer, presenter, and person. From freshman year, you were terrified of showing your work and letting teachers use your written work as examples to the class. You were shy and embarrassed of your writing, for what? I have no idea even now. However, you are not that same person anymore. You enjoy writing and sharing with others the pride you have for your work. You most defiantly strive and earn your grades.  I admire the picture above for numerous of reasons. When I saw it; I right away thought of myself. I know past self never valued the writer in her openly, but secretly she always did. This semester you have learned so much within yourself. I can honestly describe my growth as a writer as a; caterpillar throughout its stages into transitioning into a butterfly. To succeed in this class, revising, being prepared, training, communication, time ma...

Projects overview

Lately we been spending time with the textbook and getting into groups to write up proper written reports for our mock trials, our past project of different reports for Law Enforcement, and now we have started a new project of using non-fiction clips of lawn enforcement incidents, and basing a whole report as we were the officers on duty. We have to write a report on any of the 4 types of written reports offered and basically tell the story to the "public". With that we have include all information but try to be as concise as we can. Concise and gets to the point. I like how we have to use our imagination and practice typing these types of reports so that we can avoid grammar errors and avoid huge conflicts/s scandals in the future. I really like how again we're not individually writing a report or writing a 5-7 page paper on a incident. I think it's more efficient to work together and write the report together so that we can teach each other and learn from one anothe...

End of the Semester

The end of the semester is literally right around the corner! For our final project in class we are conducting another police report on a different set of videos. I also like these projects compared to writing an entire 5-7 page paper layout. These writing projects will actually give practice for the future, because reports are a huge part of the criminal justice system. There are many types of reports, they're are type 1, type 2, type 3, and type 4. Type 1 is the most basic and type 4 reports are the most complex. With that they're a bunch of different incidents that could result in writing a report. One incident could have multiple reports to it. From doing these projects I have been learning the difference of these reports though they might seem similar. Type 1 reports solely records facts. It is not an arrest, it's all facts from witnesses, victims, and suspects. This would include incidents of a missing person and non-violent incidents. Type 2 is the exact same as type...
