BRIAN HOEFT
FEBUARY 5, 2007

My name is Damian Coles and I have decided to return to school, to better prepare myself for the future that awaits me. I am a newlywed with a one year old son, and a beautiful wife who supports me in my new endeavor. I have not been in a learning facility since December of 2003, so I am aware that some things have changed since then. But I will withstand whatever is necessary for me to succeed, from harsh criticism to high regards. Once I made my mind up to return to school, the only decision that was left was what would I major in? Then it just came to me, I should go back and get my bachelor degree in Criminal Justice. I was always

    Ground rules may be established in several ways, the first of these could be to verbalise. This can be done by creating an open discussion with the learners. Allowing them to discuss and agree amongst themselves will raise common as well as personal areas to be addressed.

    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…

    Sequence pattern is the pattern that I use first. I like to have clear step by step directions. One thing that I love about this course is that there is a link for each assignment that shows you the grading rubric. With this grading rubric I am able to know exactly what my expectations are to receive a passing grade. Many times especially at work I am able to do my job and have time to clean as I go. I am a very neat and organized person.…

    In high school I had a wonderful biology teacher. She never based anything on test and I learned more than biology in her class. Her favorite saying that she pounded into every student's head was "If you find a job you love then you will never have to work a day in your life." This simple yet powerful statement is one of the reasons I believe that education is an option available to everybody that must be grasped with everything we have. Mrs. Whindam passed away last year and I was able to look at myself and say "she would have been proud of me." I started college in 2009 and will graduate in May of this year. My major is criminal justice and I know that I will love working in this field. Without my educational experiences it would not be possible for me to goninto the field I want. It allows for a leg up in the competition for a job as well as a broader understanding of the laws and practices of Criminal Justice.…
