The Future is Now Charles Kettering at a point in his life is quoted to have said, “We must look forward to the future as that is where most of us will be spending the rest of our lives.” This statement is one that used to frighten me, but now reading the sentence, I realize this is an opportunity.

When I became involved in 4-H at the mere age of eight, I had no idea of the educational value hidden in various competitions. Some of the skills I have acquired from 4-H include, confidence in public speaking, ability to lead others, and many aspects of responsibility. In various conferences, I have been asked to either give a presentation or become the leader of a group of people. When record books need to be turned in for the year, the responsibility of filling them out and sending them in is on me. I have to find the current format, download the document, and finish the portions that apply to me. I also show sheep in this organization, bringing a whole different set of responsibility to the table. I must care for the animals throughout the year and prepare them in the correct way for fair.

The culmination of these skills will enable me to take advantage of a multitude of opportunities available in
Gilmartin begins by describing the typical rookie officer. Most are energetic, idealistic, enthusiastic and very driven. Quickly this enthusiasm can change from one of positivity to one that is very cynical and emotionally charged. These behaviors and thoughts over time if not corrected become exacerbated leading to noticeable mental and physical changes. The author, Gilmartin, uses personal experiences and other real life stories effectively so that many officers can relate and identify with the topic of the book.

The world I live in is full of opportunity to achieve which includes the ability to be a part of something much bigger than myself. Unfortunately, I was not aware for many years of the extensive opportunities that can come with the decision to serve one’s country, as an officer in the Airforce. However, my first initial instinct was to finish my Bachelor’s degree and apply to the Airforce Officer Training School after graduation to become an officer. Until, I stumbled upon the local Airforce Reserve Officer Training Corporation (AFROTC) Detachment at Samford University which began to ignite my personal motivations to join and desire to research career prospects within the armed forces.

A couple of months ago, I started watching “The Wire” and similar shows, this piqued my interested in becoming a police officer. These shows made me aware and interested in police work for example; the aspects of running investigations and how unusual the job can be. I have an inquisitive mind, this leads me to want to discover the truth. I want to put the pieces in my head by myself and get my own view on the matter.

Dealing with the unfamiliar excites me the most, which is one of the reasons I left America to teach.
