Cadet Lila Fallon: ‘This academy pushed me to work harder,’ she says
Summary
Cadet Lila Fallon read a reflection at the Northborough Police Youth Academy graduation about gaining confidence, teamwork, and leadership skills she expects to carry forward whether or not she becomes a police officer.
Cadet Lila Fallon told classmates and families the academy helped her grow in confidence and resilience. "This academy pushed me to work harder, stay focused, and not give up when things got hard," Fallon said in her reflection, adding that she learned leadership is not about being the loudest person but about setting an example.
Fallon said the program taught teamwork and respect, helped cadets from different backgrounds work together, and gave her skills she expects to use in school and future careers. She thanked the officers and her fellow cadets for the experience and said she will carry the lessons forward regardless of whether she pursues law enforcement.
