At the 75th Police Explorer Academy Graduation this evening, our daughter was awarded Top Gun. She was also honored for placing third in physical agility amongst the female cadets.
As she accepted her trophy, the audience applauded and whooped appreciatively at her accomplishment--though I think I love the smile her comrades have for her the most! Teamwork is an essential component of the Academy, as it is in the field!
After the formal ceremony, her local police captain asked a family member to pin on her new badge!
Congratulations, Nikela! You embraced the challenges of the academy and excelled! We are so, so proud of you!
