Shout out to my friends, Claire, Hannah and Hazel!
Claire, thank you for accompaniying me on my early morning visa interview and for waiting at CBTL until I'm done! To Hannah & Hazel who woke up early to pick me up and drop me at the airport for my flight!
Special acknowledgement to my Aunt, Roslyn who forged the way, planted the American dream in my heart and worked the long hours so she could pay for my tuition, the necessary fees so I could be in the US with her. And for hosting me every time I go to Chicago! lol. Thank you Tita & Tito!
I have been blessed with the best family and friends with that I am grateful.
Always, in Gratitude.
