Peoria Christian H.S. student accepted by two military academies

A student at Peoria Christian High School was accepted by two national Military Academies.  Faith Kim says she’s being sought by West Point and the Air Force Academy:

 
“It was just really exciting and kind of a shock. So I was really honored to have gotten both.”

 
 
Kim is still deciding which Academy to attend.  Her grandfather and father also both served in the military.  Kim also is the school’s Student Body President and has a 4.12 GPA.  US Congressman Aaron Schock also officially honored Kim being accepted into the two Military Service Academies.
