Jeff Giordano HHS Class of '60 Scholarship
Recipient News
Dear Cyberbreds,
Our Jeff Giordano HHS Class of '60 Scholarship Fund is down to only
one recipient, but she is a winner! Her name is Lilibet Sosa and she
expects to graduate from the University of Miami in December of this
year. Upon graduation she plans to enroll in a new duel graduate degree
program scheduled to commence in 2011. She intends to work toward both
an MD and a PhD in Medical History! Please view her recent letter to
me below, along with a photo.
We have been assisting her with $500 per term since she enrolled at
UM in 2006. Her overall GPA is 3.235. I told her if she is successful
in gaining admission to graduate school, we would continue to award
her $500 per term until our funds run out. We currently have a balance
in our CAP HHS 60 account of $2425 with the Dade Community Foundation,
which means we can help Lily in the Fall, and for four more semesters
after that.
This scholarship project continues to honor Jeff's memory in a way that
would make him very happy, and for which we should all feel a measure
of pride; especially Nan and Jeff’s family.
I hope to see many of you on Marco Island in a few weeks.

Mr. Giberson!
I am very glad to hear from you!!
I apologize for the late response, during summer everything slows
down so I dont check email as often.
I have been meaning to update you as per everything that's going
with my career. I am glad to hear I'm the one student that continues
to be benefited from the scholarship, its a great honor and I would
love to continue being a recipient until possible.
I have decided to postpone my graduation till December 2010, the
reason is because I've added something for my career that will require
me to take extra classes. I still plan on attending Medical School,
but also, I am applying to dual degree programs which are M.D./Ph.D.
programs to start on 2011, hopefully to obtain my MD degree while
at the same time obtaining a Ph.D. on the History of Medicine. I
have added History as a second major, and ever since I entered UM
I've loved it, so I decided that that was a field that I would love
to study. Therefore currently, I am enrolled for next fall. I attached
my transcript, class schedule, and a couple of pictures. I could
take one next to a UM main sign without problem this weekend if
you would like one, I attached some that I had anyways for you to
use withever one works best. Once again, I would like to thank you
incredibly for your help. Hialeah High Class of '60 has been such
a relief for myself as well as for my mother and I have to thank
you for your continued support throughout my college years. Thanks
to your support I have been able to use those funds for books and
school expenses, not having to work extra and alotting me time to
concentrate more in my classes. I appreciate that I could always
count on you, through the best semesters to the tougher ones, and
in the ups and downs of college life. Also, thanks to the support,
I have been able to expand my activites. I have been the president
and founder of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Chapter at UM, for
the past two years. I have done Cancer Research at Sylvester Cancer
Center and also volunteering at Doctor's Hospital. I have to say,
your help has allowed me to have the wonderful experience I have
had in the University of Miami, and I think back to four years ago
in Hialeah Sr. High and thank you for giving me the chance of becoming
one of your scholarship recipients!
Also, if you would like me to write an official letter with an updated
bio or official letterhead let me know, I would be more than glad
to do anything I can to help you!
Once again,
Thank you so much for everything you've done!
Sincerely,
Lilibet Sosa
