In a statement, Elise Ciribassi, a doctor at Carol Stream Animal Hospital, said, “While we know that the American Way is through sports and athletics, we believe that the academic road is rigorous and a lot of work as well. Many times, academic students don’t get recognized as they should.”
“So in this light, we have chosen a student entering into the health profession field to receive our $1000 scholarship, who will be attending a four-year college program.”
