Hello Professor and Class!

My name is Isaac Ahenkora; I live in Tennesse and am an ex-service member. I look forward to
getting a degree in Criminal Justice with Homeland Security as my major. My hobbies are
reading, swimming, and playing soccer. I hope to serve the U.S.A. once again as a Homeland
Security officer. Taking U.S (CRJ 325) will add to my knowledge of Homeland Security or
Security do.
I believe that gaining a strong foundation on U.S court can help me gain the basics of Americs’s
of criminal procedure in U.S.A. The passion that I have for Homeland Security is unprecedented
and it requires gaining requisite knowledge.
The United States Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) declared racial
segregation in public schools unconstitutional. The Court's decision established the function of
law in promoting equality and ensuring equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment of the
Constitution. It marked a significant milestone in the civil rights movement and set a precedent
for desegregation in the United States.
The post provided reflects their enthusiasm and dedication to learning about the United States
Courts and the functional side of Criminal Justice. Also, your interesting background highlights
your ambition to pursue a career as a forensic analyst. I believe that a proactive approach to
education and future career demonstrates a strong motivation to make a positive impact in the
field of criminal justice. By expressing excitement for the term and acknowledging the
importance of knowledge and ambition in the criminal justice process, you have set a positive
tone and shows a commitment to studies and professional growth.
