Personal Statement: A Personal Code Of Ethics

Decent Essays

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.

Since 2014, Blerim has been involved with both the Campus Activity Board and 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
