College and Career

My plan for college is to attend at Lansing Community College for two years. I want to
get involved with the police academy in the LCC. I want to take the courses I need to take to
make me succeed towards my career. My final career I want to progress towards is a Military
Canine Handler. I want to work my way through the police academy way, so I am not owned.
After I accomplish that I would love to be in that career until I retire.

In 3 years

I am going to be finishing Lansing Community College Police Academy. I will then look
for my part-time or full-time before I finished completely with the Academy. I want to begin
having my career by being a local police officer before I go to my major career.

In 5 years.

I have went to Michigan State Police Academy in Lansing. It would have taken me 22
weeks to become a basic Michigan State Trooper. I then will have to be a Trooper for two
years before I can move to my next step towards my career.

In 10 years..

I will go back to the Michigan State Police Academy for 22 more weeks in the Canine
department. I would have applied to the military forces to become a Military Canine Handler. I
would have went probably over seas a few times, but it all has to do with my family.

in 25 years..

I would be getting a retirement from the Military base and Law Enforcement field. I would
have went overseas, more and likely, at least once. I want to retire knowing I tried to protect my
country. I would probably try to push myself not to retire until about 2050, when I am 53.


I had five jobs from career cruising and they were Dancer, Detective, National Guard, Police
Officer, and Bailiff.
