A Turtle Saved

Thereafter, Officer Hawkins-Graham and the Hammett family picked up the turtle from the road with the help of the shovel and placed it to the side of the engaged road. No need to say had the officer and the family not came forward to help the voiceless turtle it would have lost its life. A little act of kindness prevented a big tragedy from happening.     

Gaining Respect

Hammet appreciated the officer for her kind deed. She said, “I couldn’t believe that she was standing there guarding that turtle in all that rain.” She added further, “Not many people would do that, regardless of their occupation. She was serving and protecting in every sense of the word.”

Smiling Heartily

Hammet recalled, “the officer thanked us and we thanked her and we all went on our way.”  Continued, “She was smiling a big broad smile the entire time and she never seemed to care that she was drenched completely through. She was delightful, inspirational, kind, all the things that you think a police officer should be.”

Very Content

So how did the Hammet family feel after rescuing the turtle? Hammet said, “The officer was soaking wet and continued to have a gorgeous smile on her face. It was quite a beautiful experience.”

Treat To Eyes

A passerby Kathryn Beard stated, “It was nice to see people taking the time and helping the turtle.”  She added, “Although the turtle was large, it would have been either run over or possibly injured while getting swept away by the rain. Thanks, turtle rescuers!”

Who Is The Cop?

Officer Sharnise Hawkins-Graham won many people’s heart with her thoughtful action. Her fellow officers now respect her even more. The woman was already famous in her surrounding for being a helpful person and so when her fellow workers heard this story they were hardly surprised but at the same time, they were proud of her.
