Barbara Diosi, member of Branch 62, East Chicago, Indiana: “I would like to take this opportunity to thank the HRFA for granting me the scholarship. Currently I am attending Indiana University Northwest. In the future my goals are to receive a degree in Criminal Justice and become an FBI agent. Besides school, my hobbies are rollerblading, drawing, and watching my sweet little nieces and two nephews whom I dearly love. I am engaged to Edward Hylek who is now serving in Iraq. We plan to get married as soon as he comes home.

I have covered baseball, field hockey, and cross-country as well. Following graduation, I wish to pursue a career in sport journalism, eventually switching to become a high school English teacher. My ultimate goal is to purse a Doctorate degree in Communications and become a college professor. I worked for the Slippery Rock University Sports Information and Promotion department last semester. I was responsible for the content of the SRU wrestling media guide. I collected information for and wrote player bios, coach bios, and season reviews. Currently, I am a high school lacrosse official in the Western Pennsylvania Scholastic Lacrosse Association, covering games throughout the greater Pittsburgh area. This past summer, I interned at Clear Channel Worldwide and WTAM 1100 in Cleveland, conducting interviews, creating storyboards, and working on the Cleveland Indians post game show. I have financed my entire college education through my own pocket by working summers and part- time at SRU. For the past two summers, I have detassled corn on the Iowa/Nebraska border to pay my tuition. Following graduation, I will have zero student loans to pay back, which is a testament to my work ethic and positive attitude. I have been able to balance school and work, learning the sacrifice and dedication it takes to succeed at all levels.” Erik M.

Without their help, completing my education would have been very difficult. Once again, I can’t thank them enough. I am graduating form Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania this summer with a Bachelor of Science in Communication, specializing in journalism. For the past two years, I have published work in SRU’s campus newspaper, The Rocket, covering several different sports. My main area of focus was women’s basket
