Hello my name is Jaylen Rollins, and in this I will tell you about myself and who I am.
I was born March 27, 1996 and while I have moved around many times, I have always lived in the Bay Area. This is my Third semester at Los Medanos College and my first time taking an online course. My plan is to become a law enforcement officer somewhere here in the Bay Area. I have looked into many different police departments and I hope to one day be accepted into the Walnut Creek Police Department, but many places in the bay area will be fine with me! I currently live in Brentwood California, and work at Sprouts Farmers Market as a grocery clerk. I enjoy what I do very much and I get along great with my coworkers, working at a grocery store really is not so bad! More than anything I want to become a police officer, and wear a badge to be a symbol of protection for a city.
Other things that I have enjoyed during my time at Community College is taking psychology classes and sociology classes as well. I like to learn about the mind and what makes humans do what they do. I am very glad that I am taking this course as reading and writing are very big parts of police work as well! Writing reports, reading and analyzing statements and other information is all very crucial to become a good officer, and I want to be the best that I can be! I want to make the best of my life and do what I feel I would be good at, and this pathway to success feels like the best path I can take. I am sure there will be setbacks along the way, but I believe that when I look back on my life in the distant future, the decisions I made and the hardships that I face will have been worth it.
Whoah! First thing that caught my eye was your birthday! Mine is March 28th, 1997. I'm just a year and a day younger than you!
ReplyDeleteHopefully you can land that position in Walnut Creek! I have a neighbor that works part time for the Livermore PD. Have you considered trying volunteer work? Its a great way to show interest to who may be your future employer at the station.
Its great you have a positive outlook on obstacles too! That's a great mentality for a future officer. Keep up the confidence and keep working for it, and I'm sure that badge will come your way. Good luck this semester!
Hey Jaylen,
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome that you want to be a police officer, and I have a lot of respect for anyone looking to become one, especially in this day an age. It's a very hard job, especially with the lack of respect you get from a growing portion of the community. I used to work as an EMT in Rossmoor over there in Walnut Creek and went on plenty of calls with WCPD, and there are a lot of great guys and gals working over there, I'm sure you would love it there!
You are right that there will be setbacks, but those are the moments that makes life interesting, without those setbacks and detours it would be an awfully boring existence.
Anyways, good luck with everything, and thank you in advanced for your service, I hope to see you in WC with that badge on one day!
those are awesome goals to strive for man. Walnut Creek is a solid department with very nice officers. ive been told it is a long road to becoming a police officer but it seems like your making the right steps. good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Jaylen, I am so sorry I am responding to your introduction so late! I enjoyed reading about your passion for working in law enforcement. It's great that you are so clear about your goals! I look forward to working with you this semester.
ReplyDeleteHi again Jaylen! I hope you enjoy the online course feel going through this, it’s quite different from being in a class and requires a lot of dedication, more than people realize! Walnut Creek would be such a wonderful area to work, I hope you are successful with your job pursuits and get to work over there. It’s such a lovely area, and the people are pleasant. There’s several opportunities for students to work alongside law enforcement that you should look in, experience helps get your foot in the door a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteIf you get the opportunity to take an abnormal psychology class in the future, I would recommend that, it’s a super interesting class in that topic area and I feel like you may enjoy it.
Good luck with everything!
Hi Jaylen - you sound like an amazing and driven person! I commend you on your choice of career. It takes a strong and secure person to pursue such a thankless (and dangerous!) career. I look forward to working with you this semester.
ReplyDeleteHi Jaylen!
ReplyDeleteI love taking psychology classes too! They are so interesting to me. You learn so much about yourself and even your friends and family. It really gives you more insight and understanding for people. I'm sure it will really help you to become a great police officer. You have a great and strong mentality. Good luck to you!
Nice to meet you Jaylen!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome goals and I have respect for anyone who aspires to be a police officer. I once thought about doing corrections and was just one test away from getting into the academy when I was offered a position at a “dream job”, well it was at the time. If I am ever in Sprouts, I will say hi! I live in Antioch but I am frequently in Brentwood.

Hi Jaylen,
ReplyDeleteI know we’re well into the semester, I haven’t commented on your introduction yet. It’s great to learn a little more about you, I think your choice to become a police officer is a very honorable profession. It’s clear by how you write that you’re a very positive person, that will serve you well through your path. Looking forward to working with you more this semester.
Best,
Corine
