The Begining

Hello Professor Olean

My name is Judy Rodriguez. I am a single independent mother of two beautiful children. A son of seventeen years of age and a daughter of ten. I've been wanting to return to school for sometime now. Unfortunately being a full time working mother leaves me little time. I try my best to be a hands on mom attending cheer leading practices as well as baseball games. Being a mother is a very demanding job itself. I must say I am truly blessed and manage it very well.
I currently work for The State of Connecticut at the Department of Corrections. A job that is also demanding. I work third shift at sixteen hours per shift. At times the job can be more mentally exhausting than physical. Being a woman in a male dominant atmosphere can also add to the frustrations of working for the department. I would like to get my degree in criminal justice and further my career in this field. My goal is to become a parole officer. Now that my children are a little older and demand less of my time, I am able to focus on school and move ahead in my career.
