Essay About Me
About Me
My name is ............................ I was born and raised in Queens, New York. Currently I am a full time college student at La Guardia Community College. My major is Criminal Justice. I am planning on transferring to John Jay of Criminal Justice after I earn my 45 college credits in order to join the New York Police Department Cadet , my GPA is also good enough to be qualified on John Jay. I am currently a volunteer for New York Police Department Auxiliary.
Since I was a kid I used to like different fields at first I was pondering on going to the Marines, then it was to be a Veterinarian, also become a Forensic, after all those fields didn’t precisely content me I pondered about not going to college but better off becoming a professional boxer I have always loved the sport I remember watching Mike Tyson's fights, Roy Jones Jr., Oscar de la Hoya, Julio Cesar Chavez, Bernard Hopkins and the list goes on. Before coming to college I was really into boxing a lot I would train everyday, I would go through intense workout's, sparring against amateur and professional boxers all the time , it helped build up my confidence but what disturbed was that my family never supported me when I want beat up people for a living. That's why am more focused on college rather than boxing, I would still go twice a week but the interest for becoming a pro wasn't on my mind anymore, my main focus was on joining the K9 unit because I passionate on law enforcement but I also love dogs so I might as well mix the two things that I have a strong passion for.
On my senior year of high school is when I decided to become a K9 officer when my friend Mark got me to join the New York Police Department Auxiliary I was astonished as soon as my classes started I enjoyed every since class because it filled my mind with a lot of knowledge about law enforcement I become more and more interested on the field that I was 100 percent sure that I should pursue my career in criminal justice.

    Criminal Justice Major was not my first option; in fact I never even considered criminal justice. I was an undeclared freshman who hated school and was thinking about dropping out to work in the union. The only reason I went to college was because I received basketball scholarships to many schools and I wanted to continue the sport I loved to play. Talking to my family about this they obviously did not want me to drop out and they wanted me to continue school and get a diploma. That where my brother says at least go for 2 years and get a degree so you can become a cop if you don’t like the union. So the next semester I joined criminal justice and ever since then criminal justice has been a passion to me, thanks…

    My Own Identity Essay

    • 870 Words
    • 4 Pages

    One’s own identity is derived not by circumstances, but rather by his or her experiences, moral values, as well as motivation. Especially in today’s media, people love to read or watch about impossible stories of rags-to-riches, and they try to incorporate those stories’ motivational plots into their quest to become successful. I concur with Thomas Merton in that I believe “identity is much more than the name or features one is born with. True identity is something people must create for themselves.” One’s origin does not fully account for one’s identity, but it is shaped rather by actions and perception of self. Ideals from “People Inside Me”, “Cut”, and “Commencement Speech at Mount Holyoke College” all influence my point of view regarding…

    There is an unfortunate reality in that there are millions of people around the world who are willing to do almost anything, even lose themselves, just so they can be accepted and become part of the crowd. To keep things in perspective, wanting to be accepted, wanting to fit in is not exactly a bad thing. In fact, it’s basic human nature for survival and social growth, and it starts at a very young age. During our developmental years, we feel the need to be accepted or be worthy of acceptance. This can’t be met when you are isolated, other people have to be involved if these needs are to be met.…

First step of the way, is definitely graduating high school, that will be my first accomplishment. I want to go to to Cuyamaca College first and get an Associates Degree in Criminal Justice. I'm going to to sign up for Cuyamaca this year so I can start taking a class or two during High School to get advanced. After I get my Associates Degree, I'm going to join the US Air Force Reserves.

One of many reasons why I want to join the Airforce is because I know all the benefits it has and all the open doors I can get to be successful in life, as well as extra money and experience for when I become a CSI. After I'm done with boot camp and my tech school, which will take around 4 months, I'm going to join Federal Police.

    Prompt 3: Through comparing and contrasting my skills, I’ve come to the conclusion that my greatest one is fighting. Along with my ability to fight came a skill set of determination, competitiveness, and memorization. Although my skill is not academic, it gives me qualities that can help me in the classroom. I’ve developed a strong memory and a passion for success.This skill has honestly helped me better my life. I started boxing when I was 14 years old as an overweight kid who was struggling with self-confidence. Boxing was that safe haven for me allowing me to lose the weight and gain skills that set me apart from others. From there I branched off getting into kickboxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, and wrestling. The mixed martial arts have really become a part of me as a person so I will always be participating in at least one subfield of MMA. Currently I am wrestling for my high school and keeping up with my boxing. The boxing I’m involved in is less likely to get me anywhere compared to wrestling. If I place in the top three at coast this year I will qualify for state and that will greatly aid me in the future. I want to pursue a college degree so I can better my future while also fighting on the side because you never know what can happen. I do love fighting, but jumping straight into only fighting and no schooling is irrational. Therefore college is for me.…
