Kristi N Esposito I have wanted to attend Baylor University since I started high school nearly 8 years ago. After September 11th, when my dad was activated for military service I decided to stay closer to home and I regretted it for the 3 years that I spent in a local college. Now, with your help I have transferred to Baylor University and I have never been happier. I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be. With that said, I would like to extend my deepest thanks for your generous scholarship. It has provided me with the greatest opportunity imaginable and has greatly eased the financial burden of Baylor University. Unfortunately, my family and I will be unable to make it to the reunion this year. We are trying to save every little bit of money possible so that I can accomplish all of my future educational goals. Thanks again, (the future) Dr. Kristi N. Esposito Kristi N Esposito, daughter of Carmine C. Esposito, G Troop 2/11, 1970-1971 |
