Struggle

Well we finally finished our narrative and though it was a struggle to get done, I think it was an important topic. I never had to write on why I chose to go into law enforcement, this was the very first time, and as a classmate had said yesterday in class, if I was ever asked that question during an interview I would be looking stupid just sitting there struggling to come up with an answer. I'm not very good with coming up with answers out of the blue, which is definitely a weakness I wish I did not have. But, I also think it's cool that we're gunna be working from a textbook for awhile now, it's a nice switch from paper after paper; I also feel like my brain cannot produce anymore papers lol. Im convinced my brain is fried. I also heard we are gunna be doing some mock trials and I don't know how I feel about that lol; I never been a fan. We had mock trials in high-school and it would be cool to watch or hear about it but I never thought about giving it a try, but I guess it's finally time to find out if I enjoy it or not. 
I get my stitches out tomorrow and I will finally be post wisdom-teeth free! I will never take eating for granted again. I'm also going home again this weekend so I will be eating food from my favorite restaurants. This week totally drained me out and I feel as if every week is getting harder and harder to get through. The ironic thing is that it's my general ed classes draining me out! History will forever be my worst subject and my philosophy and ethics classes are too confusing for me lol. I literally cannot wait for summer when my only struggle consists of working my jobs and deciding what concerts I want to go to. Here's to the weekend and counting down to Easter break!

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...
