   Choices...
Well here it is friends..the moment of my life that either makes or breaks me...but let me tell you how it started...

MY wise and all powerful grandmother came to me with an ultimatum: go back to school while I can still help you pay for it-or suffer my ancient wrath! <>.<>
Needless to say, I have no choice but to accept such a, heh, generous offer. o.o So, back into the fray I went to try and figure out what the hell I'm going to do with myself and I've landed on a realization that there is only one choice for me:
I have to go back into Law Enforcement.

Now don't get all ruffled, I wouldn't force myself to do anything I didn't think I was capable of handling, or doing for that matter. So here's the deal. I'm not completely ignorant nor untrained to go into such a business. I worked with my local police for two years in their volunteer and educational programs, I did DARE and GREAT when I was a kid. I grew up next door to a policeman and his family, hell Danno is one of my best friends and his father is a cop and he works as a dispatcher for the Smyrna police.
And I did want to be an officer so many years ago, but I had to stop and I'll tell you why. Dead people scared the hell outta me.
I have been blessed that I've never had a close friend or family member pass away, I've never been to a funeral, I've never witnessed anyone get seriously injured or die until I started looking at crime scene photographs whilst working with the M.C. Sherrif's office. It really tore me up and its taken me this long to get myself over it and straight. I'm able to deal with death now and bodies don't affect me like they once did. I realize now that I can go back and do the job I always wanted to do.
Now to get my cute little as in the door ^-^.

I'm going to go back to school for Police and Criminal Sciences in the fall. In ten weeks I'll have the training that I need to complete my application to Metro and start working. I'm thinking that eventually, I'll want to be a U.S. Marshal. ^-^ ahh I can see it now: Serrafina, U.S.Marshal, shotgun in hand, kickin arse and forgettin names. Oh hells yeah ^o^ !!!

But for now, I'm stuck being Serrafina the Wal-mart lackey ^^''. Now I'm off to the school to figure out how much it's going to cost me and what I'll need to do beforehand to get into the program, but I'm in the best hsape of my life and this time I'm ready to step up to the challenge.

More soon if I get the chance!

Love,

_Serra
