Interview Assignment
Deputy Jody Hendrickson
The person that I chose to interview was Deputy Hendrickson, she is actually someone I've looked up to for five years as a mentor. We did the interview over FaceTime because of her shifts. She was very open to answering any questions that I had for her. I started with my first questions about her childhood, she was born July 10, 1970 and raised in the U.S Virgin Island after graduating high school at Charlotte Amalie she moved to New York for a year then to Fort Lauderdale, Florida in which she went to school for criminal justice went through the Academy for Broward Sheriff Office, graduated and became a correctional officer in 2002.
I moved on to my next question what inspired her to become a correctional officer? She simply replied, her two kids. She said when she first moved to Fort Lauderdale life was not easy there were many adjustments she had to make culturally being that she was by herself and raising her two kids on her own. She said she would never lose her West Indian culture but she had to learn when it's ok to portray her thoughts and also her language or dialect because of the way that she speaks. She also wanted to teach her kids that as well because she did not want them to lose their culture.
Deputy Hendrickson was very outgoing and friendly towards the end of the interview we babbled about her kids, TV shows in which I found out we actually have a few things in common such as she likes the series Once Upon a Time, also that we are both from the Virgin Islands and that we both love shopping. So I got back to the interview and ask her my last question I asked her if she do everything all over again would change anything? She replied, she would not change anything she has done and been through because it's what strengthened and made her the person she is today a great mother, a role model to many young adults and a great officer in her professional field.
