The Child and Recreation Program Helps Hussein Pursue His Dream of Becoming a Police Officer
June 11, 2024
Hussein Abdi Ali dreams of becoming a police officer, and enrolling in the Child and Recreation Program is his first step toward that dream.
Hussein is in his first year of the Child and Recreation Program at Yrkesgymnasiet in Borås. When choosing a high school, he had heard that Yrkesgymnasiet was a good school and was drawn to the opportunity to spend more than half of his school time in practical training (APL). Today, he’s completing his APL at Ekaräng School, working with a preschool class.
“I really enjoy it! I’ve always liked kids, and this education provides a solid foundation for the future,” he says.
In addition to spending time with the children at the preschool, Hussein also gets a glimpse into the life of a teacher, taking responsibility for parts of the lessons. However, his ultimate dream is to become a police officer, and he sees the Child and Recreation Program as a great first step toward that goal.
“I get the chance to develop socially by learning how to interact with both adults and children. Plus, I’m learning a lot about pedagogy, which is valuable for a police officer,” Hussein explains.
Hussein is driven by the desire to help make Sweden a safer place and believes in the importance of diverse perspectives within the police force.
“I’m from Somalia, and I think it’s important to have a mix of ethnicities within the police. I want to contribute to protecting Sweden,” he says.
