Dear Provost & Dolphin Award Governing Body,
It’s my absolute pleasure to nominate Blerim Cukovic to receive the College of Staten Island Dolphin Award, 2017.
Blerim and I have worked together as colleagues, classmates, partners, & most of all, good friends for almost a decade. We met on the first day of High School back in 2009. In this time, I’ve watched him grow from being the friendly classmate who helped others in basic algebra to leading an extensive volunteer trip to Costa Rica, where he organized and built an orphanage. Blerim is, and has always been a true leader.
I thoroughly enjoyed my time working with Blerim at the WSIA Radio Station. WSIA was the first organization we joined as students at CSI. Upon arrival, we learned that the

Since 2014, Blerim has been involved with both the Campus Activity Board and the Student Government. He has gone from being just a board member all the way to C.F.O. of CAB and Vice President of the Student Government. He is a student who has dedicated himself to go above his studies and have a real voice in making a difference for his University.
Before starting our first semester, I asked Blerim what were his academic goals. He said he wanted to be a Doctor. Doubtfully, I said that would require too many years of school, too much personal debt, and plainly, too much work. His response to my complaint has stuck with me for years because it truly defines who Blerim is. He said: “It doesn’t matter what it takes. I want to be a Brain Surgeon. I want to save lives.”
Without a doubt, I confidently recommend Blerim be nominated (and receive) the Dolphin Award for this year. As a dedicated and knowledgeable student, & an all-around great man, I know that he deserves this award.
Please feel free to contact me at david.grace@cix.csi.cuny.edu should you like to discuss Blerim’s qualifications and experience further. I’d be happy to expand on my recommendation.
Best wishes,
David
My personal ethics have been formed through family influence, religious beliefs, life experiences, my internal reflection and the culture in which I was raised.
My personal code of ethics is Equality and Sensibility. I believe in a predictable system that assures the well-being of all, especially those without power, is a just system. As a wife, mother, nurse and a member of a community, I strive to do the best I can in every aspect of my life. As a mother, I strive to be a good role model to my children and teach them the fundamentals of life. I strive to be able to give a solid foundation and an easy path to life whether it be school, finding who they want to be as they grow older and for a productive future. As a nurse, I strive for equality of care for every patient and to be able to be their voice when they are not
Cleveland Clinic Science Internship Program, Radiology (2016) This is a nine-week, paid internship for rising high school juniors and seniors who attend school in Northeast Ohio. This internship gives students the ability to work with nationally-renowned physicians, researchers, and other healthcare professionals.

I had the opportunity to shadow and assist in every specialty of Fairview Hospital’s Radiology Department and completed a research
By allowing himself to be open to others, he is able to being an icon of this organization to those in need. While he stood out in many events, one that clearly illustrates his kindness was during a Headliners event, where he was not even a member, but he stepped up in their time of need when they were short of volunteers, and with a smile, he picked up supplies, and stayed for the whole event until tear down. This goodwill shows the investment he has in helping others and shows the love in what he calls “home:” Campus Events and Entertainment.
A code of ethics is defined as a set of principles, values, beliefs, and rules that define the conduct of a person. This helps a person to determine the correct behaviors that should be expressed in every moment of his/her life as well as analyze what is good or bad in present. Practice the code of ethics is important in all situations because the moral is implicit in everything we do. Hence, the importance of making sure that what you do is right. In the article “How to Write a Personal Code of Ethics?” shows the importance of dedicate time to do a Code of ethics about us. This is because develop a code of ethics is not harder as too many people belief, but because it requires a lot of thinking. There is explain the importance of follow four
Having a personal code of ethics is very important to me since it defines who I am and what my beliefs are. My ethical code symbolizes who I am as an individual as a result of my moral, religious, intellectual and cultural upbringing. One of my greatest wishes is for my personality and actions to clearly define my code of ethics, without me verbalizing or someone else reading it on a document. Some questions that I would like others to ask and come up with their own answers without being doubtful and uncertain are: Is she an honest person? Is she a leader or a follower? Does she practice what she preaches? Does she exercise a love for God? These are the questions and answers that should reflex my
I, Rob Geis, commit myself to the code and values that I am about to describe. As a person I have vast life experiences that have affected who I am and what I believe in. As a Public Relations professional it seems that our industry is often under ridicule for being unethical and known as spin doctors. As an ethical student and person I consider these key values as guiding stones to my applied ethical choices. Family, friends, school and religion have all made me the person I am today and influence my ethical choices.
Guido describes ethics as “a process of determining right conduct from wrong” (para 2, p. 3). My personal view of ethics is along the same lines as this and has been instilled in me my entire life. My code of ethics includes respect for myself and others; honesty in my endeavors, graciousness in both my personal and professional lives, and accountable for my actions. I use nonmaleficence and beneficence in every aspect of my life. I also strive to honor the proverbial do unto others as they would do unto me.

Growing up in a religious background, my Catholic beliefs reflect and shape my own personal values. As a Catholic, I was taught to always respect your elders, treat others as how you would like to be treated, never put anyone’s name in vain, distinguish right from wrong, and work for the common good. By these codes of ethics, I have always believed in and live by. My parents played an important role in developing my values of Respect, Integrity, Humility, Trust, Accountability and Responsibility. Through their actions and hardships, they expressed their struggles they faced leaving their country and coming to the United States in order to provide their family with more opportunities and a better life. Both my parents were born in poverty and in a corrupt government. They both have strong religious background, where religion is their force and motivation to never give up and to keep moving forward through the struggles. From their story, it set an example for me on how to live life and that I should never take anything for granted in life. I am grateful from where I come from and who I am. My actions make me who I am and it is important for me to always do the right actions. This applies in both my personal and professional life. The major aspect I learned is that nothing in life is permanent and live life to the fullest. I will never take failure personal and will not let it dictate my life.
Thank you for that wonderful introduction, [announcer's name]. Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed a pleasure to be receiving this award in behalf of my close relative, Celestine de la Paz, who unfortunately can't be with us today because somebody's too busy filming their next blockbuster in Hollywood.
I’m very happy to write this letter and share with you what a pleasure it’s been to manage Bariso Hussein these past six months. Bariso was initially working here at Stoel Rives mail room from 3pm to 6pm each night after school. With the start of summer, he began working full days from 10am to 6pm, Monday through Friday. Bariso entered this full-time schedule with much enthusiasm and he even expressed interest in learning other duties and responsibilities so that he may better support the team, and better support Stoel Rives. Bariso learned quickly, and demonstrated a great attention to detail in his time with us. In addition, Bariso’s support over the summer has been a major factor in many of our team’s successes. Bariso was trained in the stocking of work rooms
