    is a comment the same thing as a note?... it says we are supposed to post a note of introduction—a little bit about yourself, why you are in this class, what you hope to get out of it, and what your interests are, professional and otherwise.... is this where i do that?

    I don't know if this is where we are supposed to blog or post our information so I am doing my introduction here and if it is wrong will someone let me know and I will redo it where necessary? Thanks.
    My name is Danielle French and this is my second and last semester at Ferris. I am enrolled in the LCC - Ferris 3+1 program and after my internship this summer I will be graduating with my bachelors in criminal justice. I plan to work as a probation officer through grad school for the next couple of years and once I graduate with my masters I plan on applying to the FBI academy to either work in homicide or narcotics.
    I need this class in order to graduate and I am hoping to learn better grammar and writing techniques. In the criminal justice field, especially in probation there is a lot of writing to do and knowing how to do that efficiently would defiantly be helpful.
    I am 23 years old and I work as a bartender/server which I have been doing since I was 18 and I really enjoy it. I bought my first house last year which always keeps me busy with something. I enjoy traveling a lot, camping, and just hanging out with friends. My new hobby recently has been learning to shoot guns and hopefully this year I will obtain my CCW.

    Hey Danielle. I am not sure if this is where you post your intro blog, and I dont know how you make a new post like Shirika did... but you seem interesting. My girlfriends last name is French too and my other girlfriend goes to LCC for nursing.You have great goals and good luck with everything. You sound very busy with work and a new house and all your hobbies. FUN.
