I love my career as an over a trucker,and I've got to see the entire country,and enjoy the freedom
of being my own boss on the open road.
I got married to my beautiful wife Amanda in 2003.
It's very difficult being on the road 3 - 4 weeks at a time and being away from home.
As a teenager I was a Law Enforcement Explorer with the Arapahoe Co,Colo. Sheriffs Office
and wanted to be a State Trooper. I applied for the Colorado State Patrol in 2004,but was
really unprepared for the written examination and was dropped from the process at this stage.
We then moved back to my hometown in Ohio where I've continued my career as a truck driver since that time. Recently I've been thinking about making a career change so I do not have to be a trucker for the rest of my life.
A few weeks ago I signed into my Myspace and seen ad that read "Do you want to be a cop?"
I thought,Yes I do! So I clicked on the link and filled out the form,and ended up selecting Westwood Online College to pursue my criminal justice degree. Although it's not required to apply for a position with the Ohio Highway Patrol,I want to give myself the best education
in the career field before applying.
I feel that Westwood Online will best prepare me for my career in Law Enforcement,and even if I don't get hired into the highway patrol,I will have many other options available to me for a career in the law field with my bachelor degree. I will graduate from Westwood Online in 2012.
The reason why it only takes 3 years is because going to school online is year round. I will take classes for 9 weeks and take 1 week off,making a 10 week term.
