As a child, Loretta Moser tried to bring every animal she could find back home with her.
"If it showed up at my house, I begged my parents to let me keep it," she tells the Orlando Sentinel.
"If I saw an injured animal, I tried helping it.
Everyone always thought I would grow up to be a veterinarian, but realizing that being a veterinarian also came with some pretty hard decisions, I found that it was not for me."
That's why the 44-year-old is now a school resource officer at Innovation Montessori in Ocoee, Fla., where she works to provide a safe and secure environment on campus while developing a rapport with students, staff, and parents.
"The most rewarding part of my job is being able to interact with the students on a day to day basis," Moser says.
"Before officers were placed in schools, many kids only met police officers when something bad was happening.
I think it is important for kids to have positive interactions with police officers other than during calls for emergencies."
