Thank you most and foremost to my husband and my daughter for being behind me every step of the way. Thanks to Grounds department for allowing me to adjust my schedule so I could take classes. Thanks to the Linguistics department and Gwyn in particular for being awesome. Thank you to STARS. Thanks to my dog Baldy because he’s been sunshine in a dark year.
