Amata is very proud of Taylor and her accomplishment of being accepted to all three service academies; the most prestigious schools in the United States that prepare young men and women to serve as officers in our Armed Forces.

"It is a great honor to be accepted into one of our military academies, let alone all three," Amata said. "Again, I'd like to acknowledge her hard work and the work that her parents, teachers and community have done to prepare her for the future," concluded Amata.
