My Grandfather was a Memphis police officer and he was pretty much my hero and I always wanted to be like him. I listened to his stories such as sitting in the car with Elvis and performing in search and rescue. And since his passing I have increasingly become interested and wondered if I should become a police officer, I figure if I despise this city's faults so much then I should put up or shut up and as a police officer I could help fix that. The pay isn't bad, and the benefits are very nice.
But then I get to thinking of the cons. I am diabetic, not nearly as strong as my Grandfather was, and fear. I love History and who knows background as a police officer wouldn't hurt in finding a job in other parts of the country, and pay might just help me see the world.
