Last Friday May 25 at the St Vincent and the Grenadines Cadet Force recruit passing out parade and investiture ceremony, Morris beat out 97 of her colleagues to be named Most Outstanding Cadet for2007.
The form two student of the Thomas Saunders Secondary School said that her six months of training were rigorous but paid off greatly in the end. âI always knew I could do it, all I did was put my mind to the task.â She also credited much of her success to her mother. âMy mom used to get up with me early on mornings so we could train and also go jogging.â
The bubbly Morris went on to say that the training she received helped her to become a more diligent and disciplined individual. âI know it has made me a better person and I know the training will help in the future if I am to become an Air Hostess.â
Delivering The Commandantâs remarks, Major Dwight Lewis said that the occasion was a benchmark in St Vincent and the Grenadines. He said it is heart wrenching that the Cadet Force is achieving so much, but has no permanent headquarters of their own.
Lewis told the new cadets that their duties extend beyond the bounds of the force. âYou are expected to show your lights not only here, but at school, home or at play.â
Major Lewis mentioned that later this year, the Cadet Force would be offering basic diplomas in music and cadet training.
He urged the proud parents to encourage their children to be involved in something positive and use their time wisely.(KW)
