Personal Narrative: My Journey To The CSI Field
The summer after my freshman year in high school, I had the opportunity to go to a forum in Washington, D.C. The forum discussed law and crime scene investigations (CSI). Although the forum was held for approximately six days, it changed my life. I had always yearned to be in the CSI field, but through the mock trial, investigations and the people whom I was able to meet at the forum I was able to fully establish my feelings about the future since I was able to experience the veracity of the

    2. Do you think you suffer from the "CSI effect"? Why or why not? What problems do you think this "effect" has on the criminal justice system? I think that to a certain extent I do suffer from the “CSI effect”. This is because the entire reason I’m so interested in the field of forensics is from watching crime shows such as NCIS and other forensic documentaries. Doing this might have given me an unrealistic expectation of how the study of forensics worked. However, I do understand that this field isn’t as quick and simple as portrayed on television, and even knowing this, I’m still just as interested in the field. I think that this effect causes problems in the criminal justice system such as people who give up on cases more easily than they otherwise would, because they would perceive the analyzing of evidence to be a slower process. It could also mean that there are people in the field less motivated, because their job isn’t what they expected.…

    The future is a scary, but also exciting, thing to think about. I feel lucky to have been given the opportunity to take this course where exploring our education and our future was the whole point. I feel as though I learned a lot during the duration of this course, but I haven’t really had the opportunity to put it into practice yet which is why I am glad this paper was assigned. It gives me the opportunity to really explore my future in ways I haven’t done so yet. In order to really see how this course has affected me, I must first look back at old assignments to see how I have changed since the beginning of this course and during the duration of this course.…

    I am interested in pursing the major I chose above because I have developed a passion for medicine through my own health obstacles. I suffer from Chronic Migraines, which has caused me to spend a great deal of my life in doctor's offices. Positive experiences with my doctors lead to me idolizing them as a young child; so much so that I memorized the every bone in the body at the age of five. This passion stayed alive and well as I grew older, however my admiration began to transition from the doctors themselves to the subject. This all stemmed from my own health; I wanted to know exactly what was happening with my body and why. Now, I want to dedicate my life to the subject and possibly be the doctor that inspires someone to discover their…

    There are two instances in my life that has inspired me to gain interest in medicine. My grandmother when I was around the age of twelve received double bypass surgery and I fell in love with the physician who took care of her. The physician was a middle aged woman who was one of the kindest person I have ever met, and she gave us the news of how everything went fine during surgery. She also gave us great confidence in how my grandmother would return to normal soon. The look on my parents and aunts face when she gave the news gave me goosebumps and to this day I feel the same goosebumps when I think about this. I just wanted to one day be in a position to deliver good news to a family and to see that “look” of relief on their faces. Another…

    My father always told me that nothing worth having comes easy. I carry these words close to my heart and they have driven me to challenge myself through life, especially in my STEM career. My major in the science field has been similar to riding a roller-coaster, but I have learned to overcome most of the obstacles I have faced along the way. No matter what situation brought me down, I remained positive and tried to think of solutions rather than giving up. Finally, in the last few months, many of my peers would mention that I am the type of person who is able to withstand obstacles and recover quickly.…

    When I joined the police department, I knew I wanted to be a part of something great. I wanted to leave a legacy and make an impression on others. I was the first in my family to choose a career in law enforcement, so initially, I was unaware of the challenges this career field came with. My mom was a teacher, and my dad worked in the printing business. Both were successful in their chosen fields, but they were blind to the demands required for a fulfilling career in law enforcement. To be successful, I would need to be observant of those around me who had found success. I would need to mirror their ways and incorporate their habits into my own. I would need to learn from their failures. Most importantly, I would need to learn what made them…

    My education will never be complete. This knowledge affords me the ability to grow each and every day. It teaches me to question the world and to learn from these questions. I learn through different lenses and circumstances I experience each day. At seventeen, I am nowhere near complete. I am young. I am flawed. I am naïve. What I have learned has led me down different paths in order to achieve different milestones on my own journey. I am strong. I am creative. I am poised...but most importantly I am learning. My education has allowed me to learn about myself, about others, and about the world. I am evolving through the educational process and through the effort of acquiring knowledge. I have no idea what I will learn tomorrow --some days…

    This semester I had the opportunity to enroll in the BGS colloquia course in Forensic Anthropology lead by Monica Faraldo. It has furthered depended my interest as it encompasses a myriad of elements from humanities, the physical sciences, and the social sciences. The application of those elements along with various cultures, beliefs, and research methods native to the immediate environment you’re conducting research in, is what makes the field so dynamic and so intriguing. Anthropologists have to study not only the immediate subject material, but all the influences of the surrounding environment, and then apply their diverse knowledge of human development toward their investigation. I believe my contribution to the world community will be through groundbreaking, life-changing research in the field of Forensic Anthropology.…
