SAN DIEGO
If there’s one thing that has always come easy to Destiny Parker, it’s singing. It’s a passion that began when she was toddler and it’s now her ticket to one of the nation’s most prestigious music conservatories.
But life for the 17-year-old Southeast San Diego resident has never been easy. Born in Bulgaria, she was 1 year old when she came to the U.S. with her Bulgarian mom. She grew up under difficult circumstances that included a stretch of homelessness. Without money for formal training, Destiny honed her singing skills alone in grade-school talent shows and middle and high school musicals, always with the dream of studying music and acting in college one day.
 The City of Española Public Safety Committee during its Jan. 6 meeting moved for the full city council to accept a $10,789.20 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice to reimburse the police department for body armor purchases in 2020.
   Police Chief Roger Jimenez spoke about the armor during the meeting.
   âWe had the opportunity to apply for, I believe it was approximately $21,000 for bulletproof vest funds, and we were accepted and granted $10,789.20. Weâve been pretty aggressive seeking grants and this is one of them,â Jimenez said. âI wanted to give kudos to Lieutenant Richard Trujillo, we tasked him with getting this and he was able to get it done for us.â
