LETTERS FROM OUR AWARD WINNERS

Constantine Giannaras (2009), University of Illinois at Chicago
I can never thank you enough for the consideration and privilege that has been granted to me...It is an incredible honor and a godsend to find myself a recipient of such a prestigious award. My dream to pursue a college education and one day become a successful businessman is now a dream that I can realistically achieve. I have a much clearer view of the road ahead of me. My future is bright and filled with potential to soar and succeed, and I have you to thank, Mr. Tomaras.

I can take more steps towards success, towards my goal and I can now aspire to become anything I imagine. With this award, I have been given something that has been difficult for me to grasp amongst all the troubles I have seen: hope.

I can never thank you enough.
