Helping people has always been something I felt compelled to do. I was a Police Officer for a few years and now I am doing something else that does not allow me to help people as much as when I was the "Pole-eece." However, my job now has also given me even more experience weeding out dishonesty than when I was a Police Officer; this also adds a unique perspective on people and "peopleisms."

This site suggests writing something in this part that explains why you are qualified to help people. Well, I would say there are a few reasons. One, I was a Police Officer and was not the type to just show up on a call to do the bare minimum. Cops can wear many different hats, even on the same call or in the same situation so having to do this multi-role job gave me a unique perspective on life's good and bad situations.

Also, when I was growing up I was picked on for a time, mainly because of my weight...that is until I stopped taking it. You know boys will be boys, get into a fight or two and the picking stops. I know how dangerous it can be to fight nowadays, but you don't have to physically fight to fight. We have to fight for our self respect sometimes because there are sometimes when, even though we respect ourselves others still won't. This is unacceptable if YOU respect yourself and others around you but you do not get this respect in return. Anyhow, havving been picked on as a child allows me to sympathize with people going through this same ordeal.

My last qualification is this: in my early 20's I made some poor choices in my life and these choices not only affected me but they also affected my loved ones. Some of these choices put a wedge between my parents and me and this rift with my parents actually caused tension in the early part of my marriage. I have been blessed enough that this rift is about 95% recovered. So, in short, a diploma from the School of Hard Knocks.

My responses are often blunt and for that I do not apologize. If a question is asked it needs to be answered very honestly because you have to face whatever problem is there or it will not go away.
