* Daniel initially found it difficult to adapt to life in Starfleet and rapidly fell behind in his classes.  After a meeting with the Commandant, he was ordered to seek counseling to determine whether this trend would continue. Lt. Cmdr. Terri Farquhar requested that Daniel be placed under her care, although to this day it is not clear why.  Daniel regained a steady pace, but remained behind the rest of his classmates.  He barely passed his first year.

* Daniel continued to see Lt. Cmdr. Farquhar and between them managed to solve his problems.  Daniel worked extra hard to catch up with his classmates and sacrificed many pleasures to do so. After many months of physical training as well as mental training, Daniel sat his exams and passed with good grades. This not only boosted his confidence but what Daniel was about to achieve would boost the instructors and the Commandants confidence in Daniel.

* Daniel decided it was time to end his sessions with Lt. Cmdr. Farquhar, having sought refuge with his classmates to discuss issues. His classmates now confided in Daniel more than ever, and unknown to them, both the Commandant and Lt. Cmdr. Farquhar noticed his extreme ability to deal with people and situations. Daniel was approached separately on numerous occasions, asking him to swap course from Security to Counseling, all times he refused. Daniel's confidence had grown so much that he was now questioning instructors and their theories; something he knew they didn't like. Sometimes he knew it was futile, but he got results with some of his reasoning.

* Daniel's final year was probably his best after his continued success in class and top marks. He prepared himself mentally for the Kobayashi Maru and Psych Test. Daniel also proved highly suited to the role of a Security Officer having gained top marks in his Command test. His teacher, Lt. Cmdr. [[Riley, Sidney|Sidney Riley]], would later be First Officer upon his first posting after the Academy. After successfully completing all three tests, Daniel proudly accepted his graduation and subsequent promotion to Ensign. In attendance of his graduation was Lt. Cmdr. Farquhar, who supported Daniel through his Academy Days.
