Today my job at was to finish Elmer the Elephant. Everytime I would finish a section it would just keep getting better and better. When I started to add the grey that sign really came together, it truly brought the sign to life. Everytime one of the officers would walk by they woulc always be like " Annmarie it looks incredible!". It is really awesome and I mean it looks professional too. Cindy is going to take it home over the weekend ,her husband has a skill saw and is going to cut it out.Next monday I think I am going to be placing a second coat on it, just to get any missing spots and to touch up. After this is done we are going to outline it with a permanent black marker. I am extremely excited to see the outcome.
During the time I was painting Cindy had to go to head quarters. While she was gone Jodi came in and started to talk to me. And she asked if I had watched American Idol, I said no but I knew where she was going with this. Everyone says I look like jordan , one of the contestants. Jodi started to laugh and her and I got talking. She asked why I wanted to be a police officer, and I talked to her and told her my life story and how I want to be that individual to mend a situation that seems impossible to fix. She then started to cry and she told me that she saw herself in me when she wanted to become a police officer. And she said she has never seen a co op student so outgoing and talkative before and she really admired that, finally she was still crying and gave me the biggest hug and said I was going to make a great police officer and that if I wanted to work with halton that I could do so. On top of that Cindy knows I am having a hard time with money and paying for school. She knows that the optimist club offers a scholarship and Cindy knows of my credentials and my honors and decided to call. They took my name and school down and are wanting to get in contact. I am really excited and thrilled, she knows how much I want this and just to know that someone is willing to go that far for me is very touching !
