My side of the fence

It probably looks a lot different than you imagined.  You're probably thinking, where's the return policy.

Life As A Patrol Officer

Image
*************Disclaimer********************** These statements and views do not reflect the police department I work for. ************************************************ On March 21st, 2019 I walked across the stage, held my right hand in the air and was sworn in a peace officer in the state of Arizona. On April 22nd, 2019 I started my first day at the South Mountain Precinct on patrol as an Officer In Training (OIT). On August 15th, 2019 I finished the Field Training Program and got assigned to my permanent squad. It is now October 8th, 2019. To say this has been a journey, is a gross understatement. I knew going into this, that this would test me physically and emotionally. I knew that it was going to be hard, that it wasn't going to be like the movies or the television shows. This is something that I've wanted to do since college. If anyone knows me, I am determined. Once I put my mind to something, I make it happen. If I didn't have a middle name alrea...

Why It's Important to Travel Every Chance You Get

Image
I'm a firm believer that everyone should travel at some point in their life. When I say travel, it doesn't even have to be an epic trip. It could be, but it doesn't have to. There is so much to see in this world, you don't even have to go that far to stumble upon something new. I've been traveling for as long as I can remember. I took my first international trip when I was 13, and we went to Germany and did an epic road trip (sense a trend with the road trips?). My golden birthday happened when I was 13, so my big present was to ask my mom if I could tag along on her Germany trip. I have always been fascinated with WW2, and getting to go to Germany to see where it had all originated was an exciting endeavor. The first time I traveled outside the country (I'm not counting Mexico and Canada), it definitely was not the best experience at the time. As I grew up, I came to appreciate that trip for what it was. I think traveling is something you get better at ...

Washington D.C.

 Washington D.C. was one of the stops on my epic road trip across the country last summer. While we only got to spend a day and a half here, I loved this city! It had always been on my bucket list, and it is definitely a place that I want to return to some day! Let's talk about the National Mall... that's where we spent most of our entire full day in DC. We just walked around! My feet were sore.. it probably wasn't the smartest idea to wear sandals but I was going more for fashion. But anyways..  I love how much DC has to offer! I love the history of our nation and it makes me swell with national pride whenever I think back to my visit. It is so inspiring to me that these monuments are of people and events that made a profound impact on America and the world. It would be so cool to live in DC and be able to walk around here all the time! I really wish that we had had more time! We didn't get to go into any of the museums. That would have taken all week (but next...
