Page 24 TESTVÉRISÉG learn a new method of teaching called “Discovery Leaning.” This method I use in my classroom. Students work in groups and learn from each other as well as from me. Thus far I have seen exciting results from applying this method. After graduation, I hope to be able to continue teaching at a small college or university. I also wish to thank Maria Kovács, Branch Manager, for her support and recommendation for this award.” Catherine E. Gallimore, Member of Branch 176, was recommended by Branch Manager Kati Mischak. Catherine is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting and Management at Purdue University. She is on the Dean’s list, has earned scholarships from Centier Bank, Gamma Alpha Xi and Elizabeth Guba and is a member of Delta Sigma Phi. Kristina E. Gardi, Member of Br. 176: “Throughout my four years at the University of Florida, there have been a variety of experiences from my classroom interactions, campus involvement and volunteer experiences which have contributed to the skills, community awareness and leadership abilities I have obtained. During my freshman and sophomore years, I was Executive Director of Project Sea World. This was a unique event which allowed 100 financially disadvantaged children from our local community and Boys and Girls Clubs to spend the day at Sea World. With an eight- member management team, our group acquired monetary donations and food items necessary for this event. We also spent time with the children by being a mentor to them and tutoring them with their class work. I have also spent time volunteering with G.I.V.E (Gators Involved in Volunteers Endeavors). A few of my services included helping a local homeless shelter by preparing food and donating essential items. I also spent a couple hours each week at an elementary school. While at the school, I read to the children, assisted them with their homework and participated in their favorite pastimes. My time shared with the children was rewarding for them and for myself. My graduation date is rapidly approaching and with this I have accepted the fact that everything in my life changes with each passing day. I view each day as an opportunity to further myself with my community and career. My appreciation to the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America for its generosity and to Branch Manager Kati Mischak for recommending me for this award.” Thomas J. Gulyas, Member of Br. 4: “I would like to express my gratitude for the financial aid that I have received from the Hungarian Reformed Federation of America. It is truly an honor to have been chosen to receive this money for my education. I feel this is a great contribution to my education, and I will utilize this aid in the best of ways. I would like to thank Mrs. Jolán Abel for recommending me, and I would like to recognize Mr. George Dózsa for the grant itself.” Maryann Medgyesi, Member of Branch 3, was recommended by Branch Manager Louis Medgyesi. Maryann is the daughter of the Rt. Rev. and Mrs. Louis Medgyesi of Fairport Harbor, Ohio. She is currently attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, majoring in photography. Kelly B. Mischak, Member of Branch 176: “Thank you for giving me $500 for my expenses in pursuing a higher education. It is such a joy to be a member of an organization that is so generous. I was introduced to the Hungarian culture about 10 years ago when I met my husband László Mischak. Being an American in the true sense of the word (a very mixed cultural background), I have found this experience truly inspirational. It is comforting to be a part of something that is so sure as to where its roots have come from. I have listened to my in-laws tell their stories about coming to America in 1956 and I am fascinated. I have found myself telling others about their adventures and journeys with great pride. I have tossed around the idea of writing down all these stories so that they may be passed
