Police Academy

So as many of you know, I have wanted to be employed in criminal justice since I was a kid. Well, hopefully I can finally make this come true.

First, I had to go take the Entrance Exam. It is the Compass or ACT that most technical colleges require. I took of and passed with flying colors.

Second, I had to set up an interview day with the Major over the pre-service portion of the academy. He is a very busy man! :) So, I go to the academy for this interview. I thought it was going to be one-on-one but it turned out to be more like a conference. We went through the application process and given lots of paperwork.

I am now one step closer to getting into the police academy. I just have to fill out this paperwork in a timely fashion and get it turned in as quick as possible.

I'll try to keep the blog updated on the process. :)

Have I found what I'm looking for? I'll have to get back to you...

I'm not his biggest fan, but Tupac summed up my feelings in the spoken verse of "Changes":
We gotta make a change...
It's time for us as a people to start makin' some changes.
Let's change the way we eat, let's change the way we live
and let's change the way we treat each other.
You see the old way wasn't working so it's on us to do
what we gotta do, to survive.

So, I've been through quite a few changes as of late. I'm not okay with some but I'm coping well.

One thing that I'm working on is my planning. I don't need to plan every bit of my day. I like to have a few big events, then some casual encounters. I'm growing more accustomed to this. It's okay, but I'm still a planner at heart.

I'm also not so concerned how people will view me or what they will say. I'm standing up and saying that its about me now! I don't have to make everyone happy, just that one or few people happy. I also need to live my life for me. I will do what I want to do and you can't stop me. :P

I can only let people do to me what I allow them to. I must develop that strong backbone and will. My spirit can not and will not be broken by others.

I spoke to a friend tonight and he helped me draw these conclusions. He was totally right. I am a strong beautiful woman. I am intelligent, pretty, witty, and mature beyond my age. All I have to do is find that person who agrees with us.

Or maybe I don't. Perhaps, I do not need another individual in my life. I want someone to be there, but maybe I don't need just anyone. I need someone who will support me and be there for me. I need that shoulder to cry on and the same shoulder to snuggle when I'm happy. I need someone who will be funny but serious when its necessary. I need someone who wants to do the same things that I do, not because I do but because they honestly want to. I need someone to be honest with me. To tell me when I have faulted and listen to me when they have faulted.

I don't think this is too much to ask for. Maybe it is. Right now, this is how I feel. I feel this is deep set into my consciousness speaking in this blog. Am I wrong? Maybe that honest person can tell me. If not, I'll find out on my own.
