“When I was in 8th grade I knew I had a passion and fascination with everything about criminal justice including forensics, criminology, courts, etc. I remember going into my sophomore year and having the opportunity to take a criminal justice course offered at Hardin County High School. I was thrilled! I took Criminal Justice up until the end of my junior year, and by that point, I realized I had a very strong passion for it as a potential career path. Criminal Justice III was a dual credit class where I had the opportunity to take a state exam. With a lot of studying and preparation, I was able to pass the test which gave me 3 hours of college credit. Recently, I decided I wanted to get some real world experience and behind the scenes of what it was like to be a lawyer. I approached my WAPP representative at HCHS, and within one hour, she came back with news that she had found an opportunity for me. I was speechless! My dream was becoming true. WAPP is a wonderful program for students who are needing and seeking a job, especially for those with big goals in life like myself. I now have a position at a local law office in Savannah, living part of my dream. I can not thank Mrs. Bellis May, Officer Frazier, and Ben Harmon’s Law Office enough for helping me achieve my goals and making my dreams come true!”
