It might surprise you that I have not viewed the show, ‘NCIS’. In fact, the first time I even saw an agent onboard my second ship, U.S.S. Nimitz, I did not know what their job entailed, but I wanted to know. Hopefully, this does not count against me as I strive for an opportunity for internship. I say that with humility. I got the chance on two occasions to sit in on court martial proceedings. One was for BAH fraud in Japan, and the other was for theft at the Naval Academy. The theft court martial took place at the Washington Navy Yard, in Washington, D.C., and I had to conduct security screenings as well as escort the defendant to the hearing. Listening to the NCIS Agent’s testimony on how they drew conclusions from the evidence they gathered elevated great inspiration to work against the criminal elements that exist. I have come to realize that my military experiences have tremendously enhanced my self-worth. From those first eight weeks of Basic Training to the day I walked out with an honorable discharge, I gained an enormous amount of skill and confidence. I grew as a person, and I learned life skills: discipline, tenacity, leadership, and problem-solving abilities, all of which will enhance my potential as an NCIS Honors Intern. I want to experience the scientific and social aspect of criminal investigations. …show more content…
I came to America from South Korea at two years old. I was adopted into a family of Italian-New Yorkers. The diversity I grew up in environment only enhanced a realistic outlook of the world. The many characters I have run across so far in life made me thirsty to know about the inner workings of the human psyche. It especially made me ask, “why do people commit crimes?”. Traveling the world and living in other countries has given me different cultural perspectives. Dealing with individuals of different backgrounds has helped me develop a good rapport with
First, I would like to thank you for considering me for this position. I think that I would be a great fit for the CIA, and the federal government. There are many reasons why I am interested in a position with the CIA. The first reason for this is that I have always had an extreme sense of pride for my country, from the minute I began thinking about what I wanted to do with my life as a child the first things that always came to my head were positions with the federal government, in organizations like the CIA, and I see this as a wonderful opportunity to achieve a lifelong goal. The second reason is that because I feel that my skill set, and where my knowledge is fits perfectly into a role inside the CIA. I am an Information Sciences student, but my interests are much more
Finding strong evidence surrounding this topic could be significant to reducing crime rates and addressing the public health issue. What I have learn from research-based evidence and analyzing social and cultural theories, is that criminal behavior is multifaceted and is influenced by a range of determinants in which surrounds the nature versus nurture debate. I believe that nature and nurture both play significant roles to the making of a criminal.
Trait Theory suggests that the criminal behavior that one may partake in is related to personality traits inherited at birth. “Psychological traits are stable personality patterns that tend to endure throughout the life course and across social and cultural contexts.” (Schmalleger, 2016) This theory also suggests that these traits give criminals “predispositions to respond to a given situation in
I’m currently enrolled in Montgomery College, located in Maryland. Montgomery College is a community college. Community colleges are different in comparison to four-year universities. I had a choice of either getting a job or going to college. There are many reasons why I choose to go to Montgomery College. I chose to go to college because I want to pursue a degree in Psychology. When choosing a college, there are a lot of decisions to make and you have to choose what’s best in your interest. In today’s society, community colleges take up a lot of the students going to pursue their education. President Obama has proposed to make all community colleges free for all Americans and I agree with this statement. People have different perspectives
...dual traits or from a person’s socioeconomic position; instead, Sutherland looked at crime as the by-product of a learning process that affects people in all cultures and classes (Siegel, 2012, p. 237). Applying Sutherland’s theory concludes that skills and motives conducive to crime may be learned from a variety of interactions that stem throughout a person’s lifetime.
After reviewing Maxwell’s five levels of influence I would classify myself as being in-between the production and people development levels, but I can also see small indications of being in the personhood level.
The Student Government Association is a very important organization that makes a large impact on Willard High School. I would like to be a part of changing and improving how the school operates and is organized. I believe that being a part of SGA will be very beneficial in many aspects, including helping me learn how to be more confident in any future position and become a better leader. Each year, the members of this group have been in charge of bettering everyone’s experience and I qualify in aiding them in the upcoming year.
Since I still wanted to make friends, I desperately continued to try to break down the barrier between my peers and I and I slowly began to succeed. As I began making more and more friends, my experience in the U.S. started to become a happier one. Although there were still many things about American culture that I did not understand, I chose to face my fears head on which lead to a more content life. I realized that no matter where you are from, what obstacles you had to face, or what social class you belong to, coming to America gives you an opportunity to build a new and better life for you and your family. The journey to learn this lesson was not an easy one, but I’m glad I learned it.
It is important that we as people constantly make an effort to grow and improve in order achieve success and reach our full potential. National Honors Society is an exceptional opportunity that allows one to better themselves through leadership roles, working with others, and giving back to the community.
I’ve been told my whole life to “stay in school,” but I haven’t understood why until recently. Education, and the way each individual comprehends uniquely, allows for young adults to be set free into the world with knowledge that very few had until the recent centuries to change the world. At one point, I may have taken my education for granted, but I now fully understand the opportunity that has been placed before me. I want to use my education to change the world for not just me, but for as many as I possibly can around me, in a positive way.
The chance to be considered for the privilege to join the National Junior Honor Society is an honor. Being part of this program will be useful in many ways; including being helpful for academics, developing leadership skills, helping to build character, working with other individuals as a team, giving back to the community, and above all it will prepare for college.
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing”.
When deciding on what career best suited me, I found myself considering my role as a global citizen. As an inhabitant of this earth, I felt that it was my duty to advocate for its protection. I therefore decided to study Environmental Engineering. By generating ways for humans to creatively coexist with our environment I will be helping to create a more sustainable world as a whole. Similarly, this idea of making decisions based on the needs of my community has been prevalent throughout my life. I have participated in many volunteer groups including National Honor Society along with lending my knowledge to those who require help through tutoring and in-class aid. I plan on continuing to take an active leadership role in my community through a profession in environmental engineering and strong sense of environmental stewardship.
When I was in middle school, I had totally no idea of what Computer Science is, but I was pretty proficient in using computers at that age. The only thing that I knew about Computer Science is that one of my aunts is in that field and that’s all, nor of my parents are in that major. Not until in High School that I got the sense of what programming is like. I was taught basic simple codings and I really enjoyed it and thought that the class was actually quite fun. But the class didn’t give me any sense of the important real-world applications of Computer Science. Not until recently as I am in the Computer Science major, I started to really have the real idea and to gain real passion for the field. Computer Science is not all about programming.
