I graduated the SLEPT academy with the Distinguished Fitness Award. Words cannot truly describe how  challenging but yet fun, the academy was. I learned about the  purpose of being a park ranger and how to prepare myself for the field  and being able to make it home safely after every shift. The academy  required me to shut down any extra curricular activities that were not  academy related. This adjustment was not that difficult but the amount  of hours I had to spend studying and reviewing material did become  stressful at times. This only made me a better person and student.  Without the support of my family, classmates, and instructors, my time  in the academy could have been harder. Despite certain obstacles, I&#8217;d have to say that the time at the range was the most  exciting part. Everything except being OC sprayed was great, but I will  always remember my time spent at the range. The range showed me that I  could persevere through any mental obstacles that can inhibit a person.<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: Noteworthy;line-height: 24px\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">&nbsp;As  of right now I am now in possession of a bachelor of science degree in  Exercise Science and I am patiently waiting to be contacted by a park to  start my career as a Law Enforcement ranger. I am enjoying life, exercising my mind and body, and I  recently assisted Rangers in Fort Mchenry for their Defender&#8217;s Day  celebrations. I was on parking duties, assisted with security at  access points, and I trailed the city parade with an EMS ranger. Fellow ProRangers Jay Copper, Renee Benson, and Jennifer  Pflugfelder also assisted in the event. The FOMC staff was great  and the visitors were very supportive and appreciated the mission of the  park service.&nbsp;<\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-6IktGr6FBeg\/UjYIP-a8FII\/AAAAAAAAAGs\/ngwyE5pIHLw\/s1600\/F+018.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;margin-right: 1em\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"240\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-6IktGr6FBeg\/UjYIP-a8FII\/AAAAAAAAAGs\/ngwyE5pIHLw\/s320\/F+018.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: Noteworthy;line-height: 24px\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">&nbsp; <\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"font-family: Noteworthy;line-height: 24px\"><span style=\"font-size: large\">I  would like to thank everyone for supporting the ProRanger program  throughout the years and hopefully the support will continue.
