Alexa was nominated for the contest by her mother, who shared: 

"Alexa was a role model during her dad's 2024 deployment. Alexa received an Our Military Kids activity award to attend a summer camp. She was a model camper, displaying leadership and active participation. Her sportsmanship and kindness were evident as she encouraged others and helped them through the week. This led her to serve our community through the S.A.L.T. (Servant and Leadership Training) program, with whom she recently ministered to a local underprivileged community by bringing them food and clothing and working to beautify the area around a newly installed community playground.

As her daddy served abroad, Alexa is serving locally.  

She assisted her little sister's middle school volleyball team by running drills, coaching 6th-8th graders, and being a line judge during some games. Additionally, she serves our church by singing with the youth worship band and working in the preschool area. Following Hurricane Milton, she helped clean up the debris covering our church's property.

Alexa also exhibited strength while her dad was deployed by remaining focused on her grades and goals despite having to go through hip surgery. As a 9th grader, she is on track to graduate with her AA and high school diploma at the age of 17. Her resilience and dedication have been noticed by her younger sister, Alora, who wants to follow in her footsteps."
