Reflection: Do you think you would you like to be one? Why? Why not?

I would really like to be one because I like everything that they do in your job and it has interested me for years. The show Criminal Minds gives me a really good idea of how their job is and although it’s a lot of work and hours you put to it, it’s still one of the jobs that I would love to do. I want to be able to help catch all those bad people who hurt others.
