My name is Charlotte Fudala and I'm going into my senior year of high school. Since I was a little kid I always knew I wanted to help people. I never thought I'd be the one who needed to be saved. But as I aged I experienced violence first-hand, and had to deal with the severe impact it had on my mental health. It's been a long road to recovery, but every day I'm so thankful that I'm still here. Breaking out of my depression caused my outlook on life to completely change. I see every day as a gift. I have a thirst for soaking up all the world has to offer and a hunger to protect those who find themselves stuck in the same place I was. I knew law enforcement was where I was meant to go as it would lead me down a path where I could defend the innocent and, as cheesy as it sounds, make the world a better place. But I swear I'm not all sappy monologues. Every day I continue to make the most out of my life by learning and improving. I'm outspoken on women's rights, suicide, mental health, and domestic violence. I have a passion for giving back to my community and the people I love. If I'm not out singing with my acapella group, you'll find me curled up listening to true crime. If there's one thing I hope you can take away from me, it's this; always live life to the fullest. The world can be rough, but I'm living proof that you can bounce back from even the lowest points in life. I'm one of the fortunate ones who got a second chance, and I intend to spend the rest of my life giving others one too.
