On that Christmas morning in 2011, I was given the best gift; it was an envelope with a plane ticket to visit my aunt down in West Palm Beach, Florida. I was only thirteen years old and this was going to be my first time going on a vacation without my parents. I would be flying down with my friend from work and we would go our separate ways once we arrived down in Florida. I could not wait for that day to come; it was exactly one month from Christmas Day. When that day finally came I could not sit still in class waiting for the school day to end so I could start heading to the airport. Finally after waiting I made it to the airport now to go through airport security and wait for my flight. Still not able to sit still waiting for them to let us onto the airplane.

Flying over West Palm Beach was such an amazing sight to look out and see the ocean and all the houses. This was also my first trip to Florida so I’ve never seen what it looks like before, especially from the airplane view. When we finally landed my aunt Marie who is a Deputy Sheriff down in Florida picked me up in her police car. I had always wanted to be a police officer so I was admiring riding around in her police car and little did I know that I was in for a trip with the police.
When we left the airport, we headed straight to where the police train with their K9 police dogs. It was a great experience seeing all these dogs running, jumping into cars, chasing people and when catching up to them biting them until the officers where able to apprehend the suspect. One of the officers asked me if I wanted to put on the sleeve and take a bite from one of the dogs. I was standing there waiting for this dog that was twice my size to come charging at me and take a nice bite on my arm.
