(Please print carefully)

Name__Peter Breinholt

Comments: The Administration of Justice Department is fortunate to have dozens of superior students, many of whom utilize the education received to reach their goals as successful public safety personnel throughout the United States. The majority of our students have a strong work ethic, maintain high integrity and moral values, are intelligent, and demonstrate common sense and assertiveness coupled with the ability to follow orders. The individual who receives the top AOJ award must stand out; he or she must be the “cream of the crop.”
The student I wish to nominate does stand out amongst his peers. Not only does he demonstrate the qualities listed above, but he supersedes his peers through leadership skills, perseverance, and an optimistic attitude. This student is Peter Breinholt.
Peter Breinholt was a student in my Forensic Photography and Forensic Technology classes. He achieved academic excellence in every individual and team assignment presented to him. Peter’s devotion to excellence is extended outside of the classroom as he has been an instrumental leader amongst the Administration of Justice students. Peter has held various leadership positions within the Grossmont College chapter of the American Criminal Justice Association (ACJA), Lambda Alpha Epsilon (LAE). Peter has served as Vice-President, completed a Presidency term for another student, and was recently elected to a second term as club President.
Through his student leadership role, Peter has brought pride and cohesiveness to the AOJ student body. He has a contagious spirit of optimism and his charismatic personality rallies the students toward a common goal. On many occasions, I have witnessed Peter talk to complete strangers (students) on campus as he extends his natural ability to include and welcome everyone. Peter displays a strong work ethic, both in the classroom and with the ACJA club activities. Time and again, I’ve seen Peter not only complete the tasks assigned to him, but also pick up the slack where others have fallen short. But what is most remarkable, is that he does it without complaining. I have never heard him speak an unkind word about anyone.

Peter Breinholt’s work ethic, academic achievement, innovative ideas, and positive influence places him at a level that, in my opinion, is head and shoulders above the rest. It is therefore my recommendation that Peter Breinholt receive the award for “Top Administration of Justice Student.” Thank you for your consideration
