Leah’s Nomination
As Leah’s fellow student and friend, I have seen her tireless dedication to and passion for this project over the last several months; she truly puts her heart and soul into her work, and is wholly deserving of this award.
Leah always puts her best effort into everything she does.
The good, the bad, and the Eggly project.
Leah gives 110% in everything she does, and then realizes she could have done more and does 150% without anyone asking her to. She has never backed down from anything in the entire time I have known her.
I nominate Leah Pistone for her project on avian blood parasitism. She’s a great leader and mentor not only in her field of study but in the fencing club as well. She garnishes positive thinking habits acts as someone you can ask questions to who will help to foster critical thinking and decision making.
Leah put so much effort into her research on birds last summer. I even visited her several times during the summer and got to see how dedicated she was. Her project was fascinating too, coming from someone who struggles with biology. She definetly deserves recognition for her time and energy.
