**summary**
yes, I think I would still like to pursue this career, based on what I discovered about it. Eventhough It is a long and difficult procces to become an FBI agent, I would still like to still be an FBI agent. This is a career that will need a lot of training and preperation. I think this is a career I will have trian hard for. I expect to get many things out of this career. One of the things I expect to get out of this career is a lot more respect. I have respect for people and things alredy, but hopfully I will learn more. I also hope to earn respect from others. through hard work i think i can achieve this.
