First of all, thank you Jesus for giving me the strength to accomplish this task WHILE working full time, AND having young children. It's been a rollercoaster indeed. Thank you to my husband and children for supporting me and understanding one of the famous phrases I would often say- "homework is life". Thank you friends and family who helped me in any way, even if it was just saying "you got this". Working towards my degree of course meant high levels of stress, no free time and a lot of late nights. Of course, it is all worth it. Thank you to our awesome professors for being such great mentors and always encouraging us. Thank you fellow cohort members for boosting my confidence in myself. Thank you to my site supervisors for working to help me succeed and gain experience. Mahalo!
Share the Aloha!
