ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank my mom and dad for always encouraging me to follow my dreams and to never give up. No matter how hard the journey gets, the destination is always worth it. Thank you for helping me to achieve my dream of becoming an author and always encouraging me to do my best even on the days that I feel blocked. You are both always by my side cheering me on. You inspire me to be the best version of myself every day, and I am blessed that I get to call you my role models.
