Alexis's Story

My passion is criminal justice.

Generally, people would assume that my passion derives from watching a typical action-packed movie in which the protagonist cop is always the hero. In fact, a television show called "Unsolved Mysteries" is what caught my attention. This show exploited the most notorious criminals and the most disturbing crimes in the United States. What drew me in the most were the actions that the detective took to catch or acquire a lead on a criminal. Being in criminal justice will allow me to fight against those who commit crimes and receive no punishment.

Attending the Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience will show me what it takes to be in the criminal justice field. This program will push me out of my comfort zone, giving me the courage and also the passion to help those victims in need.

A Note from Ms. Shin, Alexis's Mentor

"Criminal justice has been a passion of Alexis's from the day that I met him. He is naturally suited for a role where he can give back to his community and protect and support the people around him. I believe that he would greatly benefit from the Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience in Criminal Justice and Forensics, as this program will allow Alexis to explore the myriad options that are available in criminal justice and will also allow him to meet like-minded students. Since Alexis thrives off of the energy of others, I believe that this summer community could be a wonderful opportunity to build on his existing passions by learning from new people."

Criminal Justice Program

Before attending the Criminal Justice program, I was scared because I didn't know if this is the career I want to do later in the future, but after attending everything has changed. The reason for this was because of my wonderful instructors. They showed and taught me what it takes to become a detective. Not only were they great at teaching, they wanted us to get the real experience from people who are still in the force. For example, our teacher were able to get us inside the police academy, courthouse, forensic investigation center, and federal building. Each of these visits helped me realize what I had to do in order for me become detective later on in the future. But, I really want to thank my teachers because without them I would not know what it takes to become a detective. Thank you to the people who helped me get into program, thank you to my amazing teachers, but overall thank you Wishbone for giving me this opportunity!

Excited for Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience

This summer I will be attending the Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience: Criminal Justice and Forensics. My love for solving crimes all started in middle school, and eventually Criminal Justice become a passion. My intention in Criminal Justice isn’t because of the badge or getting to carry gun around with me. No, I want to be a detective because I want to be able to help those family who are suffering from being involved in crime. I’m hoping that the Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience will allow me to get closer to my dream of helping those in need. I’m looking forward to learning from experts who are in the Criminal Justice field. Saint Rose Pre-College Summer Experience is a program that I am looking forward to this summer and I hope that I can achieve many things from it.

Success! Ms. Shin helped Alexis raise $2,455
