The 3rd day of 2012, I say this might be my last week from vacation, until I get verification about the background check has been passed through the FBI and ready to work on Friday Jan 6th. There has been a lot of down time in my hands for the past month, I went from redeveloping myself to making plans of reading, finance, goals, learning, reading and more education on the way. I believe education and reading is important in life, while I do my best to learn as much I can, I want to teach my future kids to understand how valuable knowledge and skills are. As I continue learning and putting more information in my head, I feel more educated and focused. I wish I possess this type of hunger for learning when I was younger. When I was in elementary I was going through the classroom with ease learning, but certain subjects I did not care. When I got to high school, I thought learning and doing homework is such a waste of time, why even go to school.
When I was a junior in high school I needed a plan for my future and get into a career. I was not sure on what to do. I’m unsure if I mentioned in one of my previous blog was to be a disc jockey like the “King of Media” Howard Stern. That was my main focus when I got out of college and wanted to be in radio in New York or maybe even an announcer in sports. Fast forward from 2004 to now, things have change over the course of 7 years. Now I have a B.S. degree in project management, supported by an A.S. in Criminal Justice. I thought I’d never to say this to myself, but I really like learning about business and the criminal justice side of things. My M.S. program does not start until February, until then I want to learn as much as I can before my Security Management program starts. This would put me in a position to at least grab some information about certain history, writing skill, criminology or news that I would obtain and insert it into memory and use when I have a conversation with someone.
From the learning that I missed out in high school and the luxury that I did have, I’m going to learn as much this year by reading certain books and articles on the internet. I say that the internet may give summaries, but there are certain websites that have useful information that can be useful in the long run. I want to learn more about other agencies in law enforcement such as the CIA, FBI, and other agencies, also read true crime, maybe this can help me with my thinking in my security career as I progress up the ranks. What can be the difference maker with my writing, because my previous director and also read that reading helps with your writing as you continue reading books. Reading is a lot of fun depending on what you read, as they say read what interest you. I feel that my writing is getting better, but I think I have to get use to proof reading and attention to detail on certain as aspects of writing.
When I think about my previous assignments from elementary to high school to college, everything is almost in writing. I wish I knew how to write better, because of my profession on what is going to take from reports to contracts/proposals that have to be written to the client or in court. If I had a change to do it all over again from high school moving forward, I would consider it. I know as much people do not like school, but it is the luxury of learning. I think I could get better at writing and maybe grasp better skills in writing from essays and projects. I praise ITT Technical Institute with their education that helped me improve on writing and other skills that I got hands on training. If I decide to have a hobby, I believe it is going to be reading books to improve my knowledge and obtain other information as I go along.
