Tallahassee, Florida

One of the most visible law enforcement agencies that has drawn me to the homeland security realm is the Florida Highway Patrol. In the past I have attend several job fairs just to see what job opportunity are out there. Florida Patrol Officers were always on the scene looking clean cut, in shape and professional. Even their patrol cars that seemed to be always parked in the front of the different building were clean and had a nice shine. I guess I can relate to their mission by my…

patients. Just knowing that an organization can change someone’s whole life is so fascinating to me. I, also, want to give back to my community. In High School, I did community service just about every weekend and loved it. As it is my first year at Florida State, I have not had the opportunity to volunteer as much as I wish.

FAMU as a whole is a melting pot of various black subcultures. Being from South Florida, a large amount of the black people I interact with and befriend are of the Afro-Caribbean subculture. Prior to attending FAMU, I had never tried southern fast food or food chains like, Zaxbys or Waffle House. When mentioning this to my southern friends at the university, they would look at me with shock, wondering what rock I could have been living under? While at the same time, many of them may have…
