MCC Awards College Scholarships

Three students from Talent Unlimited High School recently received college scholarships from the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, based on essays delineating their plans for rebuilding the site of the World Trade Center. Winner of the $1000 award, Emil Isanov, stated that the original towers should be rebuilt because they are “symbols of the economic power of the United States, [they] were the pride of our country, and the “rebuilding . . .will reinvigorate the spirit of our great nation.”

Candace Arnold, awarded $500 wrote about building a memorial site that “needs to be honorable and memorable to all the victims.” Her vision includes a wall of black marble where all victims names should be inscribed. “The inside . . should consist of waterfalls symbolizing the cycle of life. This means that even though we lost a tremendous number of lives, their children will grow up and keep their dreams, hopes and aspirations alive.”

Janice Consu proposed a World Trade Center Memorial Park which would be as tall as the Empire State Building, surrounded by a grass field with play areas for children. On the first floor, the names of those lost would be inscribed on tiles. The remainder of the building would be leased to businesses to revitalize our economy. ”It will help NY become the economic powerhouse it once was while paying homage to all victims and their families.”

Principal Dina Forman gratefully acknowledged the work of the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, in trying to help students achieve their educational goals. Chamber Board members making the presentation at the school, located on East 68th Street, were Dr. Pola Rosen, publisher of Education Update, Leslie Yerman and Linda Lopez. Don Winter, President and Nancy Ploeger, Executive Director were unable to attend. #
