Why Criminal Justice Will Make My Life Better


Criminal Justice is more than the potential to become a cop

I don't want to bust people who want to smoke pot

I wan't to help families who have been hit with a death 

I don't want anyone to feel the way I did when my mom was killed in a hit-and-run

This one job will make my life better by helping me put away murder's and other people who want to harm others. 

At the age of 14, I had to deal with my mom being gone, knowing that her killer is still out there walking around with a smile. 

I don't  want anyone of any age going through that if I can help them get justice. 

No little girl needs to go without their mother or father without knowing who had hurt them and why. 

That is why this one job will make my whole life better.
