NOROESTE Fla. – Cox Communications organizó los premios anuales Cox Inspirational Student Hero Awards en los condados de Okaloosa y Escambia esta semana. Entre los dos condados, Cox reconoció a 87 estudiantes que han superado dificultades extremas en sus vidas.
El evento del condado de Okaloosa se llevó a cabo el martes 7 de mayo en Northwest Florida State College en Niceville. Cox reconoció a 35 estudiantes del condado de Okaloosa que fueron seleccionados como el héroe de sus escuelas.
Los 52 héroes estudiantiles inspirados en Cox del condado de Escambia fueron reconocidos en una ceremonia el miércoles 8 de mayo en la University of West Florida.
“Estos estudiantes han superado tanto en sus vidas jóvenes mientras mantienen actitudes positivas y son una alegría para quienes los rodean”, dijo el vicepresidente de Gulf Coast Market, David Deliman. “Se merecen su tiempo en el centro de atención por ser una inspiración para todos nosotros.”
Los estudiantes fueron elegidos por un comité de líderes en su escuela, debido a su resistencia frente a la adversidad. Ya sea que hayan superado la pérdida de un miembro de la familia, un problema médico, una situación familiar difícil u otras dificultades, lo hicieron con una sonrisa en la cara y continuaron animando e inspirando a los demás a su alrededor.
Durante el evento, Cox presentó a los estudiantes un medallón grabado personalizado y certificados de honor. Los estudiantes también recibieron certificados de logros del congresista Matt Gaetz y del senador estatal Doug Broxson. Los héroes del condado de Okaloosa también recibieron un certificado del Representante Estatal Mel Ponder.
