COVER LETTER
My sister told me “If you say you can, or you say you can’t, you’re
right no matter what.” Though I do not know the original author of this
quote, I believe it, I live it. I have failed, fallen farther than ever
imagined, and have been able to remain cool, calm, and collected. I
don’t fear struggle, I embrace the opportunity to strive and surpass
expectations. I love life and appreciate the small things. I work hard,
learn fast, and make time for building relationships. I enjoy people and
the stories they bring. I refuse to go a day without laughter or absorbing
something new. Organization is a key element to success and luckily a
quality I maintain. Simply put… I am awesome. What I want to end with
are the wise words of Marilyn Monroe, “If you cannot handle me at my
worst, then you do not deserve me at my best.” With the economical
times having everyone, including myself at their worst, I promise you
will receive my best.

police officers. We, as a team, assisted the elderly with transportation at city events, and trained on a
weekly basis. I studied all the law enforcement codes, and learned how to communicate via the
transmission radio. I was responsible for taking documentation of meeting discussions, enforcing
discipline to all lower ranks, and protecting our beloved flag. We had spontaneous tests on our physical
skills and metal awareness of our objectives. There were multiple occasions where we trained to compete
against fellow local, and national forces in the situations police officers are trained. I continued to push
myself to achieve higher responsibilities, soon reaching the position of lieutenant, second in command of
twenty fellow explorers. I was required to present myself as strong, collected, and certainly confident of
my abilities to run my troop, report to my commanding officers, and take responsibility for my own
actions along with every individual who failed to comply. For I was a leader, when one fails, I fail, and
we all fail.
