Hi there! My name is Logan Lawton and I
am starting my senior year here at OU. I am double majoring in Psychology
and Criminology. The coolest part about my major has been all of the
interesting stories my teachers have told. Also, I have pretty much enjoyed
all of the classes I have taken because of my major (once I got past gen-eds of
course). The material is never really dull and I feel like I always learn
a lot. The best class I took last semester was my Juvenile Justice
class. I took it with Dr. Hill, who is just about the nicest man
ever. His lectures were riveting and he also found cool videos to show us
that were still very relevant to class material. From time to time, he
brought in speakers to talk to us about all kinds of topics in juvenile
delinquency. I was always excited to go to that class. I would highly recommend that class to anyone
that has the opportunity to take it.
This summer break was a little bit
different for me. I usually get a
part-time job so that I have a lot of time to catch up with people I have not
seen in a while. But this summer, I
worked from 8-5 every day. It definitely
took some adjusting but it is a lot easier to manage when you enjoy what you
are doing. I got lucky enough to be able
to intern with the U.S. Secret Service in Oklahoma City this summer. I basically process all of the counterfeit
money that comes into the office. But, I
have also gotten to do things like go to the gun range, attend presentations,
and even go to Portland, Oregon on a temporary assignment. Fortunately, they are allowing me to continue
my internship through this semester.
This kind of leads me into my career goals. I would love to be able to work at a
government agency. I am not exactly sure
what I want to be doing, but I think that is because I would be happy doing a
variety of jobs. So that is really what
I have been up to lately! I’ll save my
list of “favorite things” for a later time. But I will show you cute pictures of my dogs.
