Three key principles that I took away from Major General Bob Dees’ lecture on “Resilient Leadership” is: 1. Make sure your people have a “Vision” – give you people a clear vision for the future end-result/purpose, which will propel them forward with expectation, purpose, perseverance which increases resiliency. 2.

Forward thinking is “developing scenarios based on information available today about what might be possible in the future, then planning present activities, such as staff training or resource enhancement, based on those possible future outcomes” (Forward thinking, n.d.).

Students in the criminal justice department are taught that our main objective in the justice system and our careers is to serve and also protect those involved in our community. For as long as I can remember, my goal in life has been to provide service by protecting and serving those who are close to me. My penchant for service is what eventually led me to the Criminal Justice program at Valdosta State University. This passion for service began at a very young age when my life was turned upside down when I relocated from Puerto Rico to the state of Georgia due to a tragic car accident that led to the end of my father’s life. This sudden change of lifestyle and heartbreak came with an extreme amount of struggle and culture shock not just
