I have recently started an internship at the CMPD. The things that I am experiencing in my internship are helping me to realize why I want a career in law enforcement. I am a Criminal Justice major and an internship in a Criminal Justice field is a good way to help me understand the information in my class better. This internship has also provided me with a large array of experiences to reflect on in my writing.
My academic career is important because I will need it to get a job after college. In my college career I have had to take classes that I didn't want to and do assignments that I thought were not relevant. All of the assignments and classes that I have had to take are making me a more rounded person which will one day help me in my career as a law enforcement officer. I am actually thankful that I am required to do so many things that don't seemingly relate to my major, but surprise me when I use the things that I learn in my job as an intern.
Rachel, I am really impressed with your internship. Honestly, I think that is awesome. Law enforcement is not the easiest field to go into, and your dedication is being shown. In high school, I was required to have an internship at a local nursing home for my CNA class. I also found myself learning many things that have helped me reflect in writing. Some students do not know that the classes that are mandatory actually can relate and help them with their career. I am glad you have made so much progress as a student and getting started in a career, and wish you the best of luck in the future.
ReplyDeleteI am excited for you that you got the internship. I can tell that you are really passionate about Criminal Justice and you have made up your mind about what you want to do in life. I applaud you for taking the necessary steps and being determined and dedicated about your career. About taking random classes, I understand why they do it but then again, I don't understand why. I think it is for the students who don't know what their career path may be and they are just trying new things to find what they are interested in. For the people who know what they want to do, they may feel like the classes they are enrolled in are pointless and have no significance to their intended career.
