Exploration Two: Our first Blog post-Jack Ryan

Hi, my name is Jack Ryan, I'm 18 years old and a student a OSU Marion.  I graduated from Olentangy Orange and currently live in Galena.  In class my fun fact was that I want to become a police officer.  Many people ask me why I want to go in to that line of work. Honestly I don't know why I just know its something I need to do.  So respectively I'm majoring in criminology.  I am also active in a explorers program at the Delaware County Sheriffs Office.


My team and I at a Explores Competition

In chapter 1 of The Call to Write what stuck out to me the most was the "in the office" section.  In this section they had a list of emails written by and to the director of FEMA back during the hurricane Katrina.  What was interesting to me was how most of the emails did not involve how they were going to help the disaster, but instead talking about how they should 'roll up there sleeves to look like they are working harder."  In this case their reason for writing was to let each other know the best way they can appear to the public to envelop a sense of confidence  in them.  Because of my involvement with law enforcement I understand the importance of not only effectively completing the task assigned.  But that keeping up a professional appearance is just as important.

  1. What I found most interesting from that reading is that instead of being concerned for those that need their help they discuss what they will wear that night.

    1. I completely agree, but at the same time you have to consider that if they weren't dressed a certain way people my not believe that they are effectively doing their job.
