Assignment#15


  Something that represents me through all my teenage years is me being a Hayward Police Explorer. One day my mom decided to take me to a volunteer program. I wasn't really excited, but I went anyways just to see what its about. After I went I figured out I actually liked the program so I kept going and I'm still attending the program until this day. What the Hayward Police Explorer Post, is a volunteer program from the ages fourteen through twenty-one. We have a meeting every Monday at six forty five, we talk about the up coming details and what new details we are going to attend. Details are events we volunteer for because some of the places pay for our academy's and competitions. For example we attend DUI check points and put fliers on every fifth car and we don't leave until one in the morning. We also help walk the elderly to their houses when they are finished playing bingo. We also have ranks or chain of command in the post. For example when you are new to the post you are a candidate. When you pass an oral board and a written test you can become a sergeant. The highest position is the captain, the captain is in charge of the whole post or in other words is responsible for the post. I am a sergeant and have a squad which is a group of explorers and candidates. Which we line up and do facing movements and check everyone's uniform and make sure everyone's boots are nice and shiny. If any explorer doesn't have them shiny or their uniform isn't iron, then I have to discipline them. Like make them do push ups or any exercise I feel like. One of the most important thing is you have to have discipline, responsibility, courage and be honest as well. It takes a lot to be an explorer. It is also a good start when you want to be in Law Enforcement or in the military. It's something I really enjoy doing because I hope to be in the military or in Law Enforcement.

 One of the biggest events that  represents me through all my teenage years is me being a Hayward Police Explorer.  My mom decided to take me to a volunteer program so I can keep my mind off of bad things. I was not really excited, but I went anyways just to see what it was  about. When we arrived everyone was looking at me and I hate having all eyes on me, but I introduced mt self.  When the meeting was over  I figured out I actually liked the program so I kept going and I'm still attending the program until this day. What the Hayward Police Explorer Post, is a volunteer program from the ages fourteen through twenty-one. There is  a meeting every Monday at six forty five, we talk about the up coming details and what new details we are going to attend. Details are events we volunteer for because some of the places pay for our academy's and competitions. For example we attend DUI check points and put fliers on every fifth car and we don't leave until one in the morning.
