Tina and Danny Rodriguez Scholarship

This scholarship means a lot to me and my goals since I want to be a police officer and help the community. It is truly sad when someone who gives back to their community passes away at a young age. I want to be a police officer to help others and prevent further danger and violence. It is important as police officers to respect dispatchers and recognize their help as well as the help and support officers get from citizens in the community. I want to be able to work as hard as others did for my community and to make society better. Having something to work for creates good motivation to do good. Seeing good people pass away before they can finish helping makes me more motivated to help and reach my goal in law enforcement. There’s many good people in the world but not as many good people who do as much as they can. If someone can help their community by joining a first responders job or by volunteering and offering assistance where needed, they are the best of us. As a teen I look up to people who want to use their lives to make others people’s lives better. These people are what convinced me to choose a career in law enforcement. Any first responders job or job that directly helps the community is essential to keeping people together and strong. I want to keep this legacy going for my generation and future generations to maintain a helpful and connected community for others and make it easy for people to want to help out more in the community. Being an officer, I can be there for people who have lost loved ones and help them and help others work through their own problems. Tina and Danny both seemed to love their community and I want to continue that ideology and help others.
