I recently applied for a position as a Wheelchair Agent at BWI Airport and went through the initial steps, including passing a drug test and the first round of background checks. However, I received a notification that my badge was denied. I suspect this decision is linked to my past, specifically a misdemeanor gun possession charge from five years ago and a second-degree assault charge from three years ago. Aside from these incidents, my record is otherwise clean. I have an appeal scheduled for next week where I will have the opportunity to present my side of the story. I'm feeling uncertain about my chances of success and would appreciate any advice or insights on how to approach this situation. Should I continue pursuing this opportunity or consider moving on?
