It Begins
1:26 p.m.
I’m not waiting for things to come to me or fall in my lap anymore, I’m going to take initiative and charge with my life. Rather than seeing which way the wind takes me with law enforcement, I’ve decided not to wait for Cousin Sam to return from Paris to start training. Over the past few days I’ve started working out once again. I’m thinking about taking a leave of absence from SDSU in order to begin applying for different stations. Chino PD is currently hiring and if I can make it into their academy then I can be a cop within a year. I do still plan on getting my BA, but I’d much rather stop being unhappy with my current station in life and get into the exciting and worthwhile things. I already brought this plan that has barely been described to my mom and tomorrow I’ll be having it as a family discussion. Whatever the answer is, I’m going to continue training in order to put myself in peak condition, both mental and physical. In a few moments I’m going to purchase some law enforcement exam books and perhaps a book on California penal codes. I’m going to show everyone that I’m not some starry-eyed dreamer with empty hopes and goals that can’t take care of himself or others. When this is all over, you’re going to see the true potential of Andrew Suarez.
