Becoming my future.

So, I've reached a point in my life, where I've finally become happy with the point I am at, and I know where I want life to take me. I no longer want to be a probation officer because I realize that it represents everything I disagree with. I, as a criminal justice student, am a Classicalist. Meaning that I believe in punishment rather than rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is a waste of time. Once a criminal, always a criminal I say. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. You may disagree with that, but if you're really looking to disagree with me, then I also must state I am a supporter of the death penalty. Lock em up and throw away the key, or even better just nuke em. The recidivism rate in this country is way too high. We waste millions of dollars and so much time on trying to rehabilitate criminals and sociopaths, when all they are doing is wasting our time and tax dollars. But this is getting way off topic, what I am getting at is that recently I discovered what my career choice, and passion (well one of my passions) is; Juvenile Justice. See you may say that Juvenile Justice is based off of rehabilitation as well, and yes you are right. The purpose after all is to set the juvenile back on the right path. But that is not time wasted. Juveniles are a different case, their brains are still developing, and there IS a chance to turn them around, unless of course they have a chemical imbalance or are classified as sociopaths. I see potential in our generations, if only we focused on them, more than the adults who have already gone off the deep end and continue to drag our society down the drain. I see cities around my hometown starting to urbanize and lose their class because we fail to focus on our youth. Which I find to be ironic because sooner or later, thats who will be running our country. So that about all I wanted to get off my chest. I guess you could say I've had an epiphany of some sort, and everyday I feel like I am getting closer to what my Psych professor likes to call "Self Actualization" and I couldn't be happier...
