There are a couple of obstacles that have played a major role in me becoming who I am today. I've had naysayers trying to negatively influence my thoughts, and crush my dreams by saying that said I will never amount to anything, or that I should give up on my dreams and get realistic with my goals. A couple years ago I was a completely different person. I was out of shape physically, my academic performance was very poor, and I had a terrible attitude. I improved greatly in athletics and my academic career.…

I have picked up on my father’s fashion of taking on situations by my stubbornness to failure, and by urging myself to always push forward for a better outcome.

This has always allowed me to never settle or reveal my limitations, but instead to offer me a platform to rise above…
A weakness that I have is that I do not know how to say no to individuals that ask me for help since I love to help people. It is important that I learn to say no when helping others gets in the way of me accomplishing my tasks. It is important that I do both, but not when I run the risk of not meeting my deadlines and me staying late hours after work to get my work done. It has not been an easy task saying no, but I am learning to be okay with saying no because it is important that it does not interfere with my responsibilities.…

My law enforcement occupation requires me to work with different co-workers and different citizens daily.…
I've failed and I've done foolish things but I've learned.
