Growing up

Growing up I changed my mind about what I wanted to be when I was older. Some of the changes were very drastic and others very similar. As far back as I could remember I wanted to be a veterinarian. I loved my dog so much and just animals in general. What I didn't know at that time was that you had to put down some animals and I cannot do that. Also you have to go through a ton of schooling, and who wants to do that? My second job that I wanted to do was be a police officer, crazy jump right? And right around the same time I wanted to be a cop, I also wanted to be a hair stylist. Two completely different things, but hey, I was young. I looked into being a police officer when I was about 9 or 10 and saw that they didn't really make a lot of money and neither did a hairstylist. Those two were out. Then i thought to myself whats like a police officer, but better? Being in the Army! For about two years I was researching all about the army and the requirements and found something horrible. You cant have anything wrong with your heart. Well I have a heart condition so I was all bumbed. When I got to high school there was this college fair and military information. I visited the army tent and asked him about my heart and he said they would for sure not let me in. Army's off the list. Then I was like I love to act, im amazing at different accents and I can lie really well if I needed to, a spy!! I looked up a bunch of things about it and the internet said either the FBI or the CIA. Well to be in the CIA you have to know a whole bunch of different languages and I suck and learning another language. So on to the FBI, I looked up all the criteria to become a FBI and you have to have a really good record, which I have, a police background, which I could get, and have a 3. something GPA, well freshman year I didn't do so hot and I didn't take school seriously so I couldn't go to the college that has the FBI stuff at. The last and final job that I am going to try so hard to get and to be is a homicide investigator. I chose this because im really good at figuring out situations after they happened and solving things. I knew I wanted to be in the criminal justice field in someway and this is what I found to be the perfect solution. To become a homicide investigator, you have to be a police office for three years and then get recommended by your superior. Then the final step would be taking this huge test to see if you are qualified to become that and you're done! I'm pretty sure there's a whole bunch more stuff to do but that's just the basics. I'm so happy I found a career out there that i'm so interested in and so excited to do when i'm older. Not most teenagers can say they have a set goal in life but I can surely say that I AM going to be a homicide investigator someday.
