Have been really busy again! I didn't get into the Phoenix Police Department because of my speeding tickets, but that's ok since I applied to Mesa Police Department and so far I've passed the Physical, Written, and ORAL BOARD! Oral boards are very nerve-wrecking and I definitely freaked out a bit over it. But I passed and the next part is the polygraph :)
I also had Train the Trainer: Domestic Violence and Sex Trafficking training just this past Saturday and I'm hoping to use that training in the police departments around the area such as Phoenix, Glendale, Surprise, Tempe, Scottsdale, Mesa, etc! It's a great training that will benefit and educate police officers on how to handle these sort of cases. I learned so much! :) I can tell you all more about it if you're interested!
School has been tough this semester and I'm working overtime now as well. (Not something I'd recommend if you can avoid it!)
A great quote I learned about during my sophomore year of college is this:
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. - Margaret Mead
Everything I've ever been involved in, whether it was my internship my freshman year with Arizona Students' Association, the police departments, volunteering at homeless shelters, this quote has definitely rung true to a T! Compared to the rest of the population, all of those listed are a very small group of people and they're changing the world one day at a time!
Have a good week everyone!
