My career aspirations are mostly getting to help others through my work as not just a police officer but a homicide detective. I haven\u2019t taken out a loan to pay for school and I am not currently employed. I expect to graduate from BMCC in the year of 2021, however with the current pandemic we are dealing with I\u2019m afraid I will not graduate in time. I am struggling a little even if I have an advisor because of the way things are right now and the general situation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mental health care is highly important for times such as this, where the majority of people are being negatively affected. I personally never needed any help, however when it comes to assignments and due dates it is quite stressful having to complete school work at the same time. I did not receive any financial aid, so besides school expenses, I had to pay for transportation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My biggest academic goal is to pass my quizzes by improving my time management. There were times where I had to buy some textbooks, the most expensive I bought was used but still paid in the 150-200 dollars range. Unfortunately, the school frequently has malfunctions with the elevators escalators but they are repaired somewhat quickly and are working normally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A fully funded school can be seen as many different things. I personally don\u2019t know what it will turn out to look like. It&#8217;s only been my first semester in college but, hopefully, it will look nicer and safe for everybody.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My major is criminal justice.
