Valedictorian of her graduating class, Shakira Delacruz from Bronx, New York, was presented with a certificate on her graduation day at Lehman College on Saturday, June 27th by our third scholar and current board member, Areta Gjicali.
Shakira's speech about perseverance in the face of adversity and advice to her peers to continue to achieve success was evidence enough that we selected the best candidate for our scholarship this year. She is one strong and intelligent young lady who is committed to her academic success despite challenges in her own life.
Shakira graduated from the Gateway High School of Environmental and Research Technology and will be attending S.U.N.Y. New Paltz in Fall 2015.
