Jake Kurland

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference

Jake Kurland was a young civilian aboard the USS Enterprise-D in 2364. He missed out on getting the chance to take the final Starfleet Academy entrance exam by only 32 points, and as result became somewhat depressed. He took a shuttle without authorization, intending to join a freighter. However, the shuttle got into difficulties, and Kurland was almost killed. He returned to the Enterprise, where he received a refresher course in discipline from Commander William T. Riker. (TNG: "Coming of Age")
