to me. I want to protect and help people from injustice. ...Once I complete
my four years of college, I plan on securing a position with a Law Enforcement
Agency. I would like to return to El Segundo to protect my city by joining
the El Segundo Police Department. I may have an opportunity to stay in
Lincoln to become a police officer there. I am open to possibilities.
...I chose UNL for several reasons. The first is that I want to experience
life outside California. I have lived here my entire life.....I also have
family near Lincoln and my mother is a 1984 graduate of NL. The main reason
I am attending UNL is because the Criminal Justice program is rate 9th
in the Nation.” Click
