Academy Posted Friday, February 15, 2008 at 10:38 PM Sir, This is more of a statement than a question. I read your thread on commitment, and it really helped me understand something. I hope that this will also help others as well. I was in the November Academy and left, because I didn't think it was for me and I let my fear of failing something because I didn't think my vision was that good. When I left you told me that I would probably regret my decision to leave, and I din't think thiat I was going to, but I am starting to really think that I did make a bad decision. I feel that my decision was mae on the fear of failing during the Academy. I wish that there was away that I could just go back on my decision, and start the Academy over again. I thought that I might have done it for the wrong reason, but after reading the thread on commitment; I realized that I was doing it for the right reason. When you are told to give the two weeks, do that. I believe that I would have made it if I would have just did the two weeks. So, do I regret my decision, yes, and if I could have a second chance I would do my best. I would agree with the commitment thread on making sure you are doing this for the right reasons. |

RE: Academy Posted Friday, February 22, 2008 at 12:47 PM I want to be an officer of the law, but it sounds very hard. I have been doing nursing for twelve years, and I wanted to work in law enforcment but was always afraid that I wasn't good enough. How do you work past fears of not making it? when everyone around you are failing. |

RE: Academy Posted Monday, February 25, 2008 at 12:17 AM I was the same way with the fear until i became an Explorer which helped me build confidence in myself....It sounds as if you dont have a fear at all from what i was reading you have the Motivation and the compassionate desire to do the Job....it will be and is a challenge dont get me wrong, but thats apart of facing the fear which is going through the academy, which helps you face that fear. |
