Do you want your lives to be successful? If this question were asked of everyone, they would not be able to give a clear definition of what “success” means. Everyone dreams of their life being successful in today's society. It is important to take one step after another to reach your goal. Before taking actions to achieve the goal, it is necessary to clearly identify what my goal is, how I will achieve it and how I will live after it. Unfortunately, most people don't know exactly what their goal is. In reality, dreams and goals are the reasons we live today and motivate people to work hard to achieve them. From the book Two Badges, Mona is a main character in the book. He is one of the people who chases his dream and is looking forward to achieving his goal as a successful police officer. There were many obstacles before realizing her dream of being a police officer, such as her childhood background, the environment and the people around her. First, Mona's father wanted her to become a policeman when she was young. “I always wanted to be a police officer, m'ija. But someone like me... no, not me, I don't have an education. These hands are only good for hard work, right? But you should become a police officer someday. To show people that Mexicana can do good work too. Out of respect, out of honor, out of te raza..” (21). Mona's family moved from Mexico and settled in Santa Ana, California. The city of Santa Ana was dangerous because most of the residents were gang involved. Also there was a lot of involvement with police officers. Because of this circumstance and situation, she and Mona's father do not want to get involved in this society. Instead, Mona's father encouraged his daughter to become a police officer. Furthermore, Mona's father identifies a police officer as an attempt to become a good police officer. Moreover, this was the only way for her to give hope and desire to live as a new person. Ultimately, I believed that Mona's childhood and background motivated and encouraged her to become a police officer. He had experienced all those negative aspects during his involvement with gangs. Because of this situation, she sometimes gave up on her dream, but other circumstances, such as working in a police office, motivated her to think about her dream again. I'm proud of Mona for keeping her promises to Dad and the police officers who helped her. I'm sure Mona will become a symbol in the city of Santa Ana, California, because she is a woman and she is the one who is truly successful. Finally, I believed that there will be someone who will be motivated and encouraged by Mona to proceed step by step to achieve their goal..
