    It is 7:23 a.m. on a Thursday morning, the pass allowing tardiness to first hour is tucked away in my tattered blue backpack. I sit in my car gazing at the quiet building. I have seven minutes to make it up the staircase, adorned with two lamp posts. I, along with many others, have visited Morgan Federal, the bank across the street, countless times and never realized just what was in the vicinity. A friend who works next door in the courthouse suggested I profile this place and gave the directions: “It’s in the old jail,” as if that was a common reference automatically understood.…

Even still today people of different ethnicities are still being discriminated against even if they are over qualified because of many racial stereotypes. Additionally everyone does not have the same level playing field educational opportunities nor vital networking connections.…

    “What do you want to do when you grow up?” It seems that among the young adults I know who are preparing to enter their college years that many have no idea how to answer this question and the others have such diverse ideas, all of which seem to them to be distinct possibilities but each requiring different education paths. Truly, I seem to be in the minority, as I know exactly what I want to do. I desire a career in criminal justice. Growing up with a parent in law enforcement is often sufficient to turn offspring away from wanting any part of the criminal justice profession.…
