As an outsider to the system I had concerns about entering higher education one that I would not be considered cause of my multiracial race that I would not be seen as valuable for the career due to my race. I was worried that my research was not seen as proficient or trusted as the other researchers in my category due to their races. Higher education experiences have shown me that judgement can be a real thing that causes distress and discouragement in a persons ambition, drive, and passion and really cause you to quit. Being an outsider to higher education I have hopes that even with my career I am seen capable of the career that I have chosen. That my intellect and intelligence is not based off my race or how good I am or smart for the position. An outsider to higher education has left me with a lot of concerns that make it more challenging to just go for certain jobs where my race as a multiracial is seen as an underrepresented minority. This makes teachers less reliable and employers less trustworthy to view my qualifications the same as anybody else due to my race. My hopes about entering a higher education as an outsider race was to show that due to my race I come qualified for the job and to also bring diversity in my educational journey and in my work life. My experience as a first generation from an underrepresented minority being African American/ Indian ethnicity's has impacted my educational journey this far has been beneficial and positive. I have learned multicultural counseling through other races and my own along with other minorities to apply to people of different races in the real world. It has taught me about diversity and I have studied diversity at the professional level. This has helped me developed a more impactful drive to my career and it has impacted my future goals as a criminal psychologist to learn how to bring therapy to other people of different races. Being a first generation college student has taught me the importance of higher education in the workforce and helped me grow my educational journey. This has impacted my future goals by giving me more courage to pursue a life directed towards diversity integrated into my career. Where I will begin to counsel giving therapeutic intervention to people of all races. This has made my future goals expand knowing as a first time generation college student from underrepresented race that I stand for so much more than where my race comes from or what we look like in society.

Hello my name is Raven and I have been studying criminal justice and psychology for about 4 years now. My goal is to become a criminal psychologist my ambition for this lifestyle is fueled by the study to understand the criminal mind and their psychology. To make an inspiring impact that is led through corrections, therapy, and rehabilitation treatments that target the criminality of the criminal based off their psychology. It is not always understood the mindset of a criminal their lives are changed by society factors of bad things like drugs, social class and poverty that crimes became an emotional outlet and other factors of mental disorders and sanity issues. All of this has been my drive to become a psychologist for the criminal justice system to see where we can create therapeutic interventions for the onset of criminality and bring restoration back to criminals. I do believe that 30%-50% of criminals could be just misunderstood or suffer from mental health disorders. How I hold myself accountable is by applying to college, and seeking aid and scholarships for my plans. Through my studies I have made the goal to return back to college to become a criminal psychologist. My goal has been to obtain a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and bachelor’s degree in psychology to do this. Where I studied 3/4 years of criminal justice, criminal psychology and psychology at the entry level. I monitored my progress by the grades I received this is how I held myself accountable. I kept holding myself accountable by my grades as a leading factor that the better the grades the more qualified for the career that I was pursuing. The more it meant I knew what I was learning and what I was studying. The plan afterwards was to pursue my masters degree in psychology to learn the leading factors of mental health and therapeutics at the general level to apply to the criminal justice system. This has led to my success by earning me two bachelor of science degrees in criminal justice: criminal psychology and in psychology. Leading me into a career path where I can focus on criminal psychology and the leading factors of understanding the mind of a criminal. I graduated college with honors and a 3.72 gpa which helped me get into my residential masters program for psychology. The impact that this has made in my life by being a woman is that a lot of discrimination is in careers with women in law, federal government and in the criminal justice system that as women wed don’t have what it takes to succeed in those type of professions. My ambition and drive for this career led to my impactful success where I qualify at the entry level for criminal psychology. This scholarship the Harvest Goal Collective is a beautiful scholarship set to identifying the success of everyday women like myself.

Yes, there is a difference from a biblical standpoint between our truth and God's truth. Our truth is what we believe to be true. It is not told by God or particularly found in the Bible and can be of the world but this specific thing or reason we believe to be true. It is our reasoning separated from Christ and the views from the Bible. When we difference between God's truth this is the truth of the Bible and Christ-like views. Every truth we believe as Christians is considered God's truth because he spoke this out unto the Bible this makes this true. In the worldly sense, God's truth is everything apart and free from the impact of sin. "God's truth is settled or firmly fixed in heaven 'forever' (Psalm 119:89). This means that God's truth is never changing, and permanently made in heaven for eternity. Making God's truth the supreme guidance for a Christian life, how we live as Christians is based on God's truth. How to differentiate from people of the secular and live apart from sin and how we know what is right and wrong to do through the eyes of Christ. Our truth is not a permanent truth the truth of man can be scientifically proven or proven false. God's truth can be scientifically proven but it will never be proven false. Our truths can have faults and waiver under the truth of others but God's truth or the truth from the Bible stands still and has no faults. "Without needing any human corroboration, God's word is truth" (John 17:17). This means that God's truth does not need or have human confirmation to be true to support words in the Bible, God's words alone are the truth for man. I think that amazing to know that God's truth came from him and man cannot add or replace the words of God or edit God's words because his words are the truth. In Christianity we begin to learn that without God our truths are not enough to stand on alone we learn that God's supreme truth is a biblical guidance to how incorrect we could have been living close to or in sin. The influence of man because of so many secular truths or our truths that might match makes knowing God's truth even more special. As the truth of man has an error and is tested statements but God's truth is here to save people from the false truths of sin.

I have faced adversity that I have overcome my success being harder to achieve because of the level of advanced academics that I want to pursue. It is hard to find psychological jobs at the bachelor's level as a recent graduate this takes a toll on a person. This makes me feel less suited to be in this position to become a psychologist and less worthy than the other graduates who have landed amazing jobs at the bachelor's level. I have overcome this shame by realizing how smart and capable I must be to even begin to achieve multiple bachelor's degrees and still move on to my graduate studies. This impacted my educational journey by slowing me down I did not want to study or focus on future success thinking I would not be good enough like the other psychologists in the future. I wanted to quit and give up so many times during my bachelor studies. This impact made me a stronger person academically though by showing me what I am capable of in a STEM career. I am so proud to graduate with two Bachelor of Science degrees. I am passionate about pursuing a degree in STEM because I want to become a future criminal psychologist. Science has grown an educational love of learning psychology and studying the human behavior and emotions of others which leads to the formation of a person's psychology. As I pursue college my financial circumstances have been bad and good used private loans but I wished to have enough to cover expenses in full to elevate debt. The more I pursue a higher education the less I start to feel like I don't belong in a STEM career. I have proven myself more than equal to others in the psychology profession but without my higher education I cannot pursue my STEM dreams this scholarship helps support my financial status so I won't need to add private loans just to cover the access aid for a semester off my graduate studies. This scholarship helps me feel I belong in my current studies of STEM in proving myself capable of learning and mastering psychology and feeling equality in the career I want to pursue.

I was faced with a lot of challenges, setbacks and a few failed goals in college taking my studies online made everything harder because as a full-time student; I go year around sometimes four to five classes at a time. My college is a private college with Regional Accreditation and it is a Christian University, the number one Christian University in the World. We are considered Champions for Christ, so in everything that I study, I continue to study my faith. I would say online a lot of what you learn is in the materials that are presented to you during the course but what you take from it is totally based on your capabilities to study what you learn to understand it. Meaning no one is in the classroom on campus physically teaching you your studies. So learning what I was processing in the materials was based on my capabilities of how much I wanted to learn to obtain my degree without physical assistance made it a lot harder. I did set goals for a 4.0 GPA which I did achieve at the beginning of my degree but I did face failure when I did not keep it up. Government is not easy and very challenging what you learn is based on the criminal justice system, law, and political views. Which becomes challenging to understand when your consistently learning the constitution, laws, or system of political law. I set goals to achieve an unweighted 4.0 GPA more than once and I continue to make B's and A's. This affects me making me feel less than worthy of obtaining a higher education. I wanted to go to an Ivy League school on campus as a student for a Graduate degree but the more I continue to fail at setting a strain of A's to create an unweighted 4.0 GPA it makes me feel discouraged. I did not want to stay discouraged so instead of feeling less than how I wanted to feel I "turned it up to 11" by creating an academic profile and by overcoming my challenges, I strove each semester to still make the dean's list and I did. I became a student member of the American Psychological Association in 2022 and sent in my research to get published by my university making me past a student researcher but becoming an acrredited scholar. In becoming a member of the American Psychological Association I have overcome my challenges of feeling discouraged to the point of feeling like a failure for getting B's on my transcript. That in better hopes that by me starting my academic profile to try to get into Ivy League College's this will help me better present my current degree to Ivy Schools in pursuing my academic dreams. What I learned from this experience was to set realistic goals that make you feel accomplished. If I was being too hard on myself and I knew it was not going to get me anywhere. I learned to never give up on your academic dreams!!!! They mean a lot and even by pursuing a higher education, in general, is a great academic honor. I learned to continue to set my goals for each semester because it is important to strive for excellence to become the best version of who I want to be in this world academically.

What drew me to the career that I am pursuing was the need I had to want to understand the criminal mind and the crimes that a criminal commits. A criminal was not born a criminal at birth, something in that criminal's life changed that person into becoming a criminal. I wanted to become a criminal psychologist to understand better the point in a person's life that transformed them into wanting to commit murderous or heinous crimes and what type of satisfaction, craving, thrill, or emotional outlet they get from the certain crimes they commit. I wanted to understand how the criminal mind works and why they kill the way they do, what their crimes stand for, and what it means to a criminal when they commit specific acts of crime. To me, a criminal is not a lost cause but a person who needs to be understood probably by society; and a person that needs a specific kind of help, not to only be categorized as a criminal. Like if there are abnormalities in a person's brain, or if they suffer from a certain kind of mental disorder this also causes a person to commit crimes. If a person suffered neglect or abuse physically or sexually of any kind in adolescence or in their teen years this can cause a person to become a criminal later in life. It was unfair to research all the criminals I have read about and consider all of them crazy when I did not know what changed them into becoming a criminal nor did I understand how their thought process as a criminal worked or why they feel the need to commit crimes to express their emotions of neglect, anger, hatred, sadness or depression. I wanted to become a criminal psychologist also to work on cold cases of past criminals that could not be found to understand better their minds and acts of crime to see if I could bring justice by solving the case at hand. How I plan on making a difference through my career is by creating a study of research that focuses on the pinpoint periods in a person's life that changed them to becoming a criminal. Instead of classifying every criminal as insane, I wanted to reclassify the criminals in my research who suffered from mental illnesses or abnormalities because their crimes are not the same as a criminal that commits a crime in the right state of their mind. I wanted to use my research as a criminal psychologist to try and solve cold cases of crimes for the criminals who were not found by using my analysis on understanding the criminal mind in hopes that if I understand the criminal I would understand their crime enough to solve the case. I wanted to also create a therapeutic intervention for people who feel the onset of becoming a serious criminal by using shapes, psychological tests,s and a set of made scenarios for a person struggling to use as a let out in a room created in different scenes to see how this could help a onset criminal detour their behavior from crime so this would additionally help save more lives. I want to make the right changes in the criminal justice system by also putting the goal of bringing justice first, in everything that I do.

Sam Cooke - A Change is Gonna Come 1964 This song is the most important to me because it teaches you about the Civil Right Movement and life through the eyes of an African American man who had experienced his life through segregation. He talks about the hardships of poverty as an African American in segregated times, as he references his life and his upbringing not being granted the same opportunities to live wealthy as whites. He speaks on a change that is going to come one day that will change this for his race. He speaks on how hard it is just to live in his generation because of segregation that he can't even go to the movies without white people telling him to not hang out there. He also speaks of a time period when people do not want to help him as he asked his brother for help but his brother turned on him he then references again a change that will come one day. African Americans will have a better life to live where they can go in public as whites and be treated the same. Where life will be easier to live and they won't have to fear death from racist people. He speaks on the change in people that in the future one day there will be more unity in people even in family people won't turn their backs on you but help you get back up when they have seen you’ve fallen.

The change I wish to see in the world today is against gender-based domination, discrimination, and gender-based violence. Gender-based domination has become a growing concern worldwide and even in different cultures as men from different backgrounds of terrorism are terrorizing women and children. In these countries, even men take full charge of how their government is to be run without including a woman's standpoint for any reason. In some Middle Eastern countries, women are fighting for a different right, more of a self-right. Even men in their lands have the right to tell them to wear their Muslim clothing, this showcases their Islamic faith and respect as a woman. This form of democracy is a common daily practice of their lifestyle. Basically, these women have no say in who and what to be; even education has been taken away by terrorism, and certain jobs they cannot partake in as women of these certain cultures. In middle Eastern countries, women have fought back by creating feminist protests to fight for their womanhood and they're self-rights. Which has led to gender-based violence where men have taken the initiative to become increasingly violent toward these protesting women for an equal fight for male democracy. Even in America, gender-based domination has become a thing in the economic rates of employment. Where men in some jobs make more than women or if a man and a woman work the same job the man will get paid more than the woman will. There is so much inequality between men and women today. If a man is seen as a better fit for a certain profession do you know the woman would not even get a chance to show their ability for the skill? This gender-based discrimination and domination can cause employment to be higher for women than men. I would like to see changes be made worldwide against gender-based discrimination, domination, and gender-based violence. As gender-based discrimination gives women an unethical and unequal advantage toward job employment losing money and rights to men. Gender-based domination needs to be helped in Middle Eastern countries for women if only they would create equality in self-rights between women of their lands that will correlate with their religion. Lastly, I would love to see a change be made in gender-based violence as men are a lot stronger than women, and their capabilities against women are just inhumane to do. Most of these women never see domestic violence coming or public violence coming off by men against protesting women worldwide. I would love to see more protection being made for feminist protests worldwide that they can trust will protect them to stand up for their rights as women worldwide. While more needs to be done in a legal matter when it comes to cases of women going through public or private forms of domestic violence from men in public or private cases especially, to let the women of this world know that they are safe and to guarantee it against men.

I believe that higher education is important because it will set you at a higher standard in life against others and for potential careers. Having a higher education is very important in helping people get more than a basic job and setting them on the onset of a career path in life. Which can double or triple your annual salary a year. This will make you twice as much money as you would without a college degree and only a high school diploma. Having a higher education is important because it will also test your intelligence and intellectual skills and make you smarter. Being academically advanced past your high school diploma can help you achieve multiple jobs not only the jobs you are going to school for. Employers like to know that you have obtained a higher education; this implies you are academically advanced past other potential associates. These are only a few lists of the things that having a higher education can get you. A higher-paying job, for example, can get you a more demanding job for leads in corporate businesses that pay top dollar. Higher education is also important for learning trades like the Medical field, Law, Criminal Justice, Business, Marketing, and Global Studies. These fields require a degree because achieving jobs in these criteria’s is almost impossible. You will learn things from a higher educated standpoint in your field that could save people's lives medically, be a hero for justice in the criminal justice system or solve civil, and criminal cases in law. While learning the business to help you run your own enterprise or entrepreneurship while studying marketing strategies for top businesses, and learning global studies for International work around the world. Having a higher education is very important it gives you the opportunity to set above the average standards in your personal field of work while managing a higher purpose. Obtaining a higher education can be challenging or stressful but it is worth it. It gives you an edge in life to also pursue more than one field of study or gives you the opportunity to put your own professional work out. Whether this is medical research, wins in the courtroom dealing with law, putting a criminal in your frame of work behind bars, creating CEO work for businesses and marketing, and learning global studies to earn a political law in the economy that fights for change. Having a higher education is very important in deciding who you want to be in life and what you will end up achieving in your life. It is very important to have a higher education because there would also be little to no future leaders of tomorrow from specific fields of study. Having a higher education is designed for people to make an impactful change in the world that's why it is important to set above the norm and achieve a higher education.

The quality/characteristic I have that I value the most in myself is my empathy for others and why I value this quality/characteristic is because having a good heart and understanding the feelings of others goes a long way in life. I feel having empathy for others this quality/characteristic will help me in my life's journey by making me a better person. I know that empathy is a quality that most people in today's world lack because times are continuing to change in society. So there is less and less empathy in people for the causes and concerns for other people. I feel having empathy can help me understand the true meaning of life. As I have been homeless before in my life and even though I am no longer homeless, I do feel for the people that are homeless and understand them. I know what it was like to worry about where was I going to sleep or what was I going to eat and is anyone going to really help me in this situation. I was terrified, and to this day I still wish someone would have had empathy for me. During my time being homeless so many people weren't nice or understanding but I did intake lots of judgments from even people my age. This is sad, to say the least, but I have learned that empathy is a quality that people shouldn't trade if they come with it. Empathy has helped me want to help out the homeless and try to see if there are more prevention ways to help people off the streets especially when seasons begin to change. I am always very sad when winter comes as I feel for the homeless. In life having empathy has shown me so much about who I am as a person. To help others and even animals and try if need be to ever give testimony on my story. I understand low-income families as when my dad left us when I was little my mom as a single parent struggled for money a lot. I feel for those women who watch their children be hungry or wish they could give their families a better life as my Mother did. Empathy in life has taught me to understand people less fortunate than you. And I am glad to have experienced this kind of understanding towards people of different backgrounds, incomes, domestic violence of women, children, or animals, and struggling life situations to not only feel for them but want to help them in any way that I can as well. I think my quality of having empathy in myself can help my life journey by also giving me a start at being a volunteer for things that in society bring me many concerns like domestic violence against women, children, or animals, and the homeless and helping out with these issues in our society to go upon making this word as we continue to see on the news, social media and the newspapers today a better place. That is what I believe having this quality/characteristic of empathy can do help me in life's journey by making me a better version of who I am as a person.

I am pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Criminal Justice: Criminal Psychology. I am also minoring in Psychology to learn the general and specific terms in psychology. I chose this degree to learn how to study the minds of criminals and why they commit crimes. In becoming a licensed criminal psychologist I have to be able to understand why a criminal is drawn to crimes, their emotions about crime or certain crimes, and how they express themselves through the kind of crimes they commit. In learning this I chose this specific degree to learn criminology as well studying the science of a criminal's crime and create prevention to their crimes. I wanted to research on my how to study criminal minds and their crimes to create efficient therapy or statistical testing around an onset or criminal to detour them from criminal behavior. Or to understand through their eyes what is life like for a criminal? In society what does a criminal see or feel to other people to want to harm them physically? Psychology I choose this as a minor to learn science on another level. To study the developmental process in which in a person's lifespan a person can become a criminal or change to wanting to commit a crime. This form of thinking is formed from a person's psychological way of thinking and to understand this you need to study the broad and specific terms in psychology like abnormalities in the brain, body functioning, and the general aspects of Psychology. Once I can form research around the study of psychology from a normal person or a person with a disability; I can apply this to a criminal's psychology to see what matches from older cases with criminals or recent cases. Soon I will learn to form a real study on criminals from the past and present their psychology as a criminal psychologist. This is why I chose this degree to learn how to achieve my dream career goal of becoming a criminal psychologist.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science Degree in Criminal Justice: Criminal Psychology. This degree deals with the study of criminals, criminology, and psychology. I want to study to become a criminal psychologist and so I can analyze and study the minds and crimes of criminals. I believe that science is important to society because without science we would not be able to keep up with the evolution in people, medicine, technology, and animals. Science has come a long way in forming research practices to some of life's greatest questions about existence and how certain things function. Science is the reason we know about the evolution of people and animals and the history of ancient times and how mankind has been around 1,000 years and animals with millions of years of species. Without science in society, we would not have history to look back on or to understand their way of life all the way up to today's society. Science plays a major role in understanding how the evolution I people and animals came to be and how far we as inhabitants on earth have come. Science in medicine has evolved to help people live longer lifespans than they did back in the day. New medicines have formed a way to cure things of diseases or find medicines so people can live around diseases more efficiently like people with HIV. Science in medicine has given us a vaccine to one of the world's most deadly viruses called COVID -19 and made life more livable during this pandemic. Through the years science has strengthened medicine to save the lives of people for hundreds or even thousands of years now. From medical times dealing with the Black Death, into earlier centuries with the flu and polo, science has made a way for people to survive around the natural plagues of this earth. Science has given hope that one day there will be a better cure for organ failure, or cancer and substantial research goes into saving the lives of these people. To ensure hopelessness always will remain with having hope due to science, scientist, and their research. Science is important to society to ensure the study of life continues to grow and that we can push the means or boundaries of technology. Like there is electric cars and cells phone with face detection in today's society. These are technology being used in science that helps people with deformities or people missing ligaments to help them function and walk as regular people. Science in technology creates machines that detect diseases or abnormalities in people's bodies in early detection to save lives more quickly. Science has further advanced the education of our generation to more unique ways to effectively teach students to learn in more ways. Science has developed in showing control over the state of natural disaster causes and detecting where in which it will hit. Without science, none of these scientific breakthroughs would have been made possible. Science is important to society in helping us manage life and control the evolution of life that is always growing around us.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's Degree of Science in Criminal Justice: Criminal Psychology. I am seeking the degree of my choice to learn how to help onset criminals while studying their psychological thinking and the crimes they commit. A lot of criminals come from backgrounds where they were seriously neglected, bullied, or assaulted as a child or teen years and this treatment from their childhoods or adolescent stages has formed the need or want for criminal behavior. The first step to understanding a criminal is studying their criminology which is the crimes they commit. From the crimes a criminal will commit we can learn how to prevent more crimes like this from happening again and base laws around a criminal's way of thinking. To further my study I also chose this degree field to understand the way a criminal's mind works. What changed a criminal to becoming a criminal, why do these types of crimes make them express their anger or happiness? This study I called learning their psychology and how the criminal mind works. This is the first step to understanding why a particular criminal developed a need for crime through their childhoods, relationships romantic or platonic, and social interactions with society. How they react to people is a big reason why I wanted to study psychology and criminal psychology to read a criminal's body language, or read their emotions or thoughts through the crimes they commit and to understand a criminal on a psychological level. To learn through my degree to apply statistical testing, analytical analysis, criminology reports, and psychology research papers and to apply for clinical onset help if ever needed. The reason why I believe diversity in a workplace is important is that most people might not be used to experiencing diversity in a workplace. So, they are not used to seeing work being made or coming from someone of different ethnicity. Which can cause problems related to not respecting the work of a person of a different race or other races and not wanting to share equal credibility for work. It Is great to have diversity in a workplace so people can be familiar with other races and people from different backgrounds. Like the races of Muslims, Chinese or African Americans, and realize that together all of those races stand for one company and that's how management works. When you see other races ad how they live, speak or work you can learn to understand them more than viewing them as set stereotypes from society when they are barely any diversity in a workplace to go off of. It is crucial to mix races in a workplace so understanding can lead to less racism and more team membership. And in all a better workplace environment for all races and not just one or two but several leading races in a workplace. The more diversity in a workplace the more a company can grow along a lines of cooperation-ship and team success; that's why having diversity in a workplace is important.

I think it is important to better understand the nature of our universe as the youth so we can go about saving our planet and learning about the different planets, gases, stars, and Milkyway's that are around our planet called Earth. NASA goes a long way in providing educational information on the universe that surrounds our earth and keeps watch for anything that could potentially be threatening to earth or damage its way orbital functioning. In this way, it is important for us to stay better educated on the nature of the universe. And when I say the nature of our universe I mean what our universe is capable of and what external life lives beyond the human form in the universe. In order to better understand our universe, I hope to apply the concept of the Big Band Theory. The Big Bang Theory is a scientific theory that the universe came from nothing but existing gas that exploded and the planets and the universe came to be. The first step to understanding our universe is understanding how it came to be. The understanding of the ideas of how stars are formed or why the other planets can't hold matter and what the likely chances of other life existing out there beyond our universe. What we better understand about our universe can save future problems from arising. Like the size of a meteorite if too big can destroy the Earth by impact being too large. That if anything happened to the sun's light inhabitants on earth would eventually die to no sunlight, killing crops, animals, and humans. And the idea of life beyond humans that exist in the universe (UFOs or Aliens) is what they have identified on earth as visitors or what they believe could be aliens or different forms of living matter. As NASA or conspiracy government cases handles any kind of threatening matter in the universe that can potentially harm or kill us and destroy the earth. It is important to better understand the nature of the universe in hopes of controlling it. As the universe has been around for billions of years and the Sun (or light years) have been around for billions of years. Earth is in a universe that is in a multiverse which could consist of other universes that hold multiple planets containing other life or threats to Earth. This means there are more means to the nature of the universe than we will ever be able to uncover. Like the concept of black holes in the universe; if Earth ever got trapped in one Earth could be sucked into its magnetic radiation that could wipe out the orbit of Earth and any other existing planets. It is important to follow the nature of the universe to understand how it works, how meteorites travel at which speeds if gases are harmful to the Earth and if Earth is close to encountering a Black Hole in space. It is very important to learn about the ideas or concepts of the universe to better understand our Earth and the state in which our earth is always dealing with the nature of the universe itself.

I'm going to be sharing original poems written by me. *Reflections "I reflect the concrete images of our love. I reflect a hatred, of a love,...that is suffering by a set list of broken promises. I am the very reflection of your dying love for me and instead of seeing the truth between every line. I watched you choose other reflections, ones to love, then find peace within mine. I am the very reflection of your unwanted choices of never having to love me ...... and it hurts." -R.R. *The Way You Love I love the way you love. So wholeheartedly with no real intent... to receive anything you do what their heart asks which takes so much of yours to survive. -R.R. *Every Promise Made O' I am telling you, that most promises are predominately heartfelt that what it takes to make a promise is not nearly what it takes to back one up. -R.R. *Maturity in Love Love is supposed to get easier with age but if only someone told us loves holds no mastery to age. That maturity in love is ageless. -R.R.

The story I will be sharing is about the time I had gotten arrested in 8th grade with a group of my friends because my best friend wanted to visit her boyfriend after dark at school, after hours. I was spending the night at my best friend's house and she gets up at around midnight telling me to get up because we need to go meet her boyfriend. And I'm thinking in my head who and what boyfriend? and it's pitch black outside and you want to go meet "a boyfriend outside?" Then she hands me a flashlight and says come on let's go. We are already dressed heading down the stairs and the house is so quiet one step is sounding as if we were stumping through the entire house. May I remind you that her parents are sleeping downstairs. We finally arrive at the backdoor and pick the lock, we head outside it's so dark we can't see anything then she says "okay, let us go to the park and wait." And again I'm thinking "no let us go inside you can call him if it's an emergency" because be warned I was worried and afraid of being out there. We waited at the park for about an hour for them to arrive because she told me they had come back from ding dong ditching other neighborhoods, and by this point, I was done. We will be meeting your boyfriend, his friends, and the cops tonight ...great! They finally arrive, her boyfriend and his friends, and then we head to the school after hours. They started to jump over the fence and holler and yell and go into people's backyards. I thought they were high off red bull the way they started to act for no reason. My best friend pay the boys no mind this behavior was normal and it was so loud that the neighbor's back lights came on. A few moments after we all started to head to the main entrance we heard sirens and cop cars started to race to where we were at. We all took off running and then the cops started to chase after us. The boys ran one way and I ran the other way. Her boyfriend was calling her to run with him and I was calling her to run with me and she was in the middle running jagged and zig-zag until she got caught first. All the boys got caught and I was the last to get caught. That night ended with a phone call to our parents and we got in cerfew trouble with our school. I learned a valuable lesson... the next time your best friend wants to see her man tell her we can do it in the daylight or you can call him when it get dark outside.

I have grown in the past year academically growing my knowledge in science and in math. I have challenged myself to become a better math student and apply my own analytical research to my Psychology courses. So in doing so I have grown academically a lot this past year becoming stronger in math ( e. g. Quantitative Reasoning ) and Psychology (e. g. Behavioral and Abnormal ) learning and conducting my own personal research and learning how to conduct behavioral experiments. What has inspired my personal growth has been my math courses and psychology classes. The courses have taught me so much academically and in life. That what I have learned through this situation I will apply to my life and toward my higher education. My learning technique and determination have changed. I am a lot more motivated and determined to succeed harder this year than I was in the past and try new things academically and see how far it will take me. Also to apply new learning techniques to all my courses, I have changed from barely focussing to studying in all that I do that way what I learn is now a part of who I am. What has stayed the same is my sense of direction. I still get procrastinate from time to time but the path in which I see myself is still the same as why I wanted to pursue my bachelor's degree, to begin with. Through my journey of self-discovery, I have learned that I am capable of a lot more than I thought I was. I have learned that I understand challenges as a way to test my endurance to the issue at hand. I have learned that the more I focus on my studies on not the world around me I start to love who I am. The more intelligent and logical inclined I feel about my degree and grades the happier I am in my life and it shows every day. I learned this past year through this self-journey that education has been big enlightenment to who I am as a person and I would not change a thing. It has taught me that a smart woman or woman with a degree looks better on a resume. This self-journey has shown me my self-worth and it is through my grades, my research or my work, and how I study. That through my degree I as a person have the power to do much in this world and through my life that I stand for so much more academically. That is what this past year during my self-journey has taught me ... my self-worth...and I am extremely proud of myself.

My dream future looks like academic perseverance and aspiring to achieve my academic goals. I intend on studying to become a psychologist, a criminal psychologist. The goal is to create research dedicated to criminology and helping the minds of criminals. If more research and psychological work go into the analytical analysis needed to save or change the psychology of a criminal's mind to stop or understand their criminal behavior; we can begin to understand how the criminal mind works on another level. Doing this future study can help the criminal laws breakthrough to form laws, corrections, and therapy for people who are on the onset of becoming a future criminal. People who suffer or want to create crime on heinous levels. In my dream future, I will also create a study of therapeutic understanding, a criminal therapy session designed to undergo the urge an onset criminal can have to create certain crimes on a murderous level and to express their psychology. This is through understanding their psychology and the way they work. Building my dream future into creating a broad and specific field of research around understanding the criminal mind to detour the criminal behavior or relapses in a criminal to either act right or get them a generalized but specific help they need to stay out of prison or harm others. The block that currently stands in my way from building my dream future is the lack of research gone into creating therapy for onset criminals. Usually, an onset criminal or person who is having criminal urges is deemed to be crazy and psychologically unstable. So first I will need to obtain my bachelor's degree and enough coursework in psychology to further my education onto my Ph.D. degree where analytical treatment research on the criminal mind can be published and promoted and examined by peers. But this high demand for the specific research/therapy criteria makes the goal of becoming a future criminal psychologist harder in the Ph.D. field. I plan to remove the learning blocks by forming my study under well-known studies first like general or developmental psychology. Then gradually applied the criminal analysis to cognitive psychology and developmental psychology to see who has before me study the minds of other criminals in this way and how to incorporate helping therapy sessions to express emotion like shapes, or writing from a criminal to ease or remove their criminal urges all together, where my dream future working with the minds of criminals to find them safe and medical seeking living if need be that they are still too unstable for the community living. Removing the learning curve that goes into educational study for a bachelor's degree is will help me further my study for my Ph.D. degree.
