With great gratitude and warm appreciations, I want to give a big thanks to Student, Elektra A.Hanna. The instrumental figures who made this passible, all of the hardworking Saint Peter’s staff, and to all of the students who encouraged me along my Journey. I thank you all for allowing to grow in such a great community, a community I would love to call family.
