Spring Break!!!

Hang on in there...one more day! I cannot wait to do absolutely nothing. I don't remember the last time I had a weekend with absolute no work. The only downside is that my teeth hurt way too much! I'm trying to push this surgery sooner than Monday. More and more people are telling me stories about their experience getting their wisdom teeth out and I'm kinda freaked out. I just don't know how bad I'm going to take the pain. However, this weekend looks like complete sunshine and over 50 degrees, I'm excited to use my new camera and go around the city taking pictures. I'm catching up with all my work and I will soon be stress free for a bit! My narrative is coming along, once I actually sat down and really thought about the purpose and what drove me towards law enforcement in the first place, it was smooth sailing from there. I'm working on adding dialogue to make it more story-like. This was actually so much more difficult for me then a regular narrative. I think it's because I'm use to writing so much but not necessary for my major, instead for gen ed classes. On the side note if anyone was a fan of the O.J Simpson trial Netflix show, the same directors filmed a new series based on Tupac and Biggie's unsolved death, defiantly looks like a must see!

 Once spring break ends we have a solid week and a half and then it's easter break! Then it's April and that means only one more month of school. This year is absolutely flying by, it's crazy to think I'm going to be a junior already. Well I wish all of you a happy spring break! We are all in need of it, enjoy it while it lasts! Besides the surgery being the only downside, I'm so excited to see family and spend time at home with way more food options then out here haha. Wish me luck on these teeth getting yanked😓

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...
