University Recognition of Outstanding Students

Yesterday, February 5th, was an event for all the honor students of The College of Health Sciences at Loyola University, where we were invited (my sister and her husband), came too, to witness the event). It was a very interesting event that I will never forget and want to share with you.

We, as parents, so as the students, highly appreciate Loyola University for recognizing students’ achievements in Academia & Research.

I, and my husband, together with our families are very grateful, to witness such event that gives importance to them who are sincere in developing themselves for a better tomorrow/future.

I always make it a point that when I see students or young children, I always try to talk to them and cheer for them, reminding them to study well and have fun.

We elders have an obligation to do to the younger ones….. we must help to inspire them.

Message for U.S. Citizens: Report your U.S. Passport Lost or Stolen Online

We hope your travels are always safe and pleasant, but we know things sometimes don’t go to plan. If your passport is ever lost or stolen, the Embassy and Consular Agency are here to help. We encourage you to report the loss or theft of your passport to the local police and to the Department of State. You may report your passport lost or stolen online through the Department of State website.

Please be aware that if you report your passport lost or stolen, it will immediately be canceled and the loss will be reported to travel authorities worldwide. You cannot use it for international travel even if you find it later, so be sure to search your home, hotel, or surroundings thoroughly if there’s a possibility that your passport has merely been mislaid. If you find your passport after you report it lost, please bring it to your renewal interview so that it can be properly recorded.

Reporting your passport lost or stolen does not automatically replace your passport—a lost or stolen passport can only be replaced by applying in person at an Embassy or Consulate. To apply for a U.S. passport, please visit our website.
