Writing Three

My Goals after I GraduateI am a student attending Classic City High. I am preparing to graduate so that I can go to college. I would like to go to UCLA in California. Even though I have a son, I know that my dreams of becoming a probation officer are possible. A probation officer is a person who helps out young teens, and adults to change their views of life, from bad to good and that also investigate, report, and supervise the behavior of each delinquent. They stand in court to hear and study delinquent’s punishments. Some probation officers can be hard on their teens or adults. A person who is on probation must report to their P.O. (probation officer) at least once every 2 weeks, they must get home on their curfew, and must remain out of trouble for the time they are on probation.My dream of becoming a probation officer is so clear to me. I don’t have any doubts on whether I can make it. I know I am a person that has the personality, and that personality is most likely to care more about others than myself. I love helping people change and make people feel better. I have had experience with a probation officer, because I have had two. I was in juvenile hall about 2 ½ years ago, for something I was honestly innocent of. While my time in the juvenile hall, I then noticed how I wanted to become a probation officer. The way they ran things in the units, just made me get into the whole criminal justice scene. They are just so brave; brave enough to work with some teens that are murderers. They might fear, but do not show it in their faces and attitudes.In order to become a probation officer you need to attend college n a 4 year criminal justice studies. You will need to go to training and then go to meetings in order to really get to become successful in what you want to do. Also some counseling teaching classes could help, since P.O. do a lot of counseling as well. After following through with all this, I can then be the one person and role model I have dreamed of. Also probation officer are not allowed to have a real good connection with some of the students, because some of the juveniles tend to hurt someone when they are that close.Hopefully I can graduate on time and go to college and follow up with becoming a probation officer. Besides that, my other goals after I graduate are, being a good mother and showing my kid that life is a good place if you set your mind to living right. The biggest goal I have in mind is making my son proud of me and having him makes me think about how I don’t want him to do some of the things I did. Giving up is not for every situation, but only a few situations are worth giving up.Creating my family is another thing in mind. I feel strongly about happy families always bonding and making the best out of everything. I wish to be successful and proud of my family. I want to show everybody out there that thinks I can’t make it because I had a baby at an early age, that I can so make it with a baby by me. Things in life are not hard if you learn to work with the difficulties, but they are hard when you let people bring you down. I am not going to let people bring me down, and I will live my life to the fullest.Other than that, I have accomplished some of the goals I had before. One of the major ones was coming back to school and getting my credits down to get my diploma. I really thank my self for choosing to do the right thing. I hated school, but now that I have my son going to school with me at the day care I really enjoy getting up everyday to get to my school which is Classic City High. This school had helped me a lot, and I know if I remain in this school my dream will one day come true. Thanks.
