BRIAN HOEFT
FEBUARY 5, 2007

My name is Damian Coles and I have decided to return to school, to better prepare myself for the future that awaits me. I am a newlywed with a one year old son, and a beautiful wife who supports me in my new endeavor. I have not been in a learning facility since December of 2003, so I am aware that some things have changed since then.

    Exemplification Essay: A Career As A Probation Officer

The only reason I went to college was because I received basketball scholarships to many schools and I wanted to continue the sport I loved to play. Talking to my family about this they obviously did not want me to drop out and they wanted me to continue school and get a diploma. That where my brother says at least go for 2 years and get a degree so you can become a cop if you don’t like the union. So the next semester I joined criminal justice and ever since then criminal justice has been a passion to me, thanks…

    Sequence pattern is the pattern that I use first. I like to have clear step by step directions.

With this grading rubric I am able to know exactly what my expectations are to receive a passing grade. Many times especially at work I am able to do my job and have time to clean as I go. I am a very neat and organized person.…

    What Education Means to Me

    In high school I had a wonderful biology teacher. She never based anything on test and I learned more than biology in her class. Her favorite saying that she pounded into every student's head was "If you find a job you love then you will never have to work a day in your life." This simple yet powerful statement is one of the reasons I believe that education is an option available to everybody that must be grasped with everything we have. Mrs. Whindam passed away last year and I was able to look at myself and say "she would have been proud of me." I started college in 2009 and will graduate in May of this year. My major is criminal justice and I know that I will love working in this field. Without my educational experiences it would not be possible for me to goninto the field I want. It allows for a leg up in the competition for a job as well as a broader understanding of the laws and practices of Criminal Justice.…
