I. Introduction
A. Have you ever thought about the discrimination that a female
police officer goes through just for being a girl? Well I can tell you
that since this career field is male dominant, females have to prove
themselves much more than they should. I as a female has always
had the idea of becoming a police officer. On my senior project I
investigated what a female goes through as well as if it really was
what I wanted to be affiliated with.
1. In 2009 during my freshman year, my dad and a friend planned to go to
Washington state driving all the way there to visit some family members.
2. He drove for a day and a half locating him in Ohio. He was anxious to see
our family members and spent some quality time with them.
3. When on the interstate, a police officer was on duty and once my dad
passed he pulled him over.

2. Gonzalez 2
4. He was questioned as to where he was going and why he had a Georgia
license plate. My dad answered them with all honest. He was willing to say
nothing but the truth because he had absolutely nothing to hide.
5. Everything was answered and nothing wrong went on, that is until the cop
asked the passenger for an ID.
6. He did not have one in hand and so what the police officer did, was to call
immigration on my father.
7. My dad had done absolutely nothing , yet the police officer had the
suspicion that my dad had something to hide. And so he called immigration as
well as a police officer for back up.
8. The car that my dad was driving was a 05 F-150 and he had payed it all
off. The cop said he was suspicious in search of drugs, so he searched the car, and
had the need to cut a the back seats to look for “drugs.”
9. The other police officer came and kept an eye on my dad. Although they
were searching the truck, the police officer that came for back-up said that he was
not arrested yet and if he needed to go in the cop car since it was very cold that he
was more than welcomed too. My dad was talking to him perfeclty fine and the
cop said “I don’t understand why he stopped you in the fisrt place.”
10. This showed that the police officer that stopped my dad was racist. He
took him to jail and put him under immigration.

11. Immigration, as well as the police officers working at the detention center
he was held in told him that his case was worth fighting for since he has always
worked hard and have no criminal record.
12. To the day, my father has been fighting his case, spent much more money
then he has ever thought off, and he also sold his truck at a much lower price then
it should of been.
13. Some good has come out of it, he has received a work permit, and he has
court next year in June to tell him whether he can become a resident or some sort
of visa.
14. Like i said, i have always wanted to be a police officer, but after this it
made me realize that this work field could be very close-minded towards other
races. This made me get into a deeper look at this career field and really see if this
is what I want to have a job in.
B. However, that did not stop me from researching being a police officer and
giving it another shot seeing if that is what I really want to achieve.
1.My topic is linked to the career I am researching for because I am
wanting to research more over that career to see if that is really what I’m wanting without being
based on what happen with my father.
2. I chose this career because ever since I was little I have been interested
in law enforcement especially seeing those action filled movies. I felt the rush and I knew that is
what I wanted to be affiliated with when I get older. Although it was not going to be exactly like
they interpret it in movies, researching was a great idea to get the real picture of the work field.

3. My research paper relates to my career field because I did it on how
females are discriminated on when joining this career field. This work force is make dominant so
for a women to come in and be the outcast they will be getting picked on and as a women need to
prove them that we can do it and exactly the same way that a man does.

things about myself as well as this career field.

6. Gonzalez 6
1. Work habits— I noticed that I have been lacking
and need to practice on not being so
procrastinated. This might be the case, but I
when it comes to feeling like there is nothing
else I can do, I pick myself up and try as hard as
I can.
2. Communication skills— For my project I have
to come to use e-mail much more than usual. I
have also learned to be much formal texting
with somebody of importance. Skills at talking
on the phone and in person I have had to
improve on.
3. I am interested in following a field in a career
where you are active and everyday is something
new. To not have the same routine everyday
would just be perfect. I do not want to be in a
place where I stay in the same place nor do the
same thing over and over again for many years.
B. After I have done the research, it has come to my attention that
being a police officer is not what I want to do. After listening
to how well my cousin in Mexico is doing being a doctor it
inspired me to do the same. I plan to go to Mexico and start my
career to being a general doctor in August.
