"I was very
impressed while reviewing the nomination packages with the excellent
achievements and the great promise of our young 'Tibras.' They are
indeed a source of pride and hope for our community abroad and back
home."
"I
found it very difficult to rank the nominees... They are all highly
intelligent, caring, dedicated and involved young women who will
all accomplish great things. That they represent Libya and the future
of Libyan Americans makes me very proud. They are all remarkable
in what they have already accomplished as high school students."
"When
it comes to the SATs and achievement for each nominee I want to
give every one of them first place. I am sure their families felt
the same thing with all the surroundings and away from the home
land. It shows to every one, Libyan girls and women are high achievers
and compete on the highest levels with other girls and women."
"I
have to admit that it was a difficult task to rank the candidates,
as each of them has very impressive credentials and is special in
her own way, with her unique personality and qualities."
"...
thank you for this valuable award program. Your noble effort in
this regard is indeed a source of inspiration and motivation for
our young daughters and is vital to their success and to the preservation
and growth of their cultural identity and its values."
