Acknowledgement Page "I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all." ~Ecclesiastes 9:11 NASB
You are the source of my strength. You are the strength of my life. I LIFT MY HANDS IN TOTAL PRAISE TO YOU! Thank you Lord for ordering my steps and blessing me beyond measure. Thank you to the Blessed Mary, ever Virgin and my patron saint, Saint Mary Magdalene for your unyielding faithfulness both to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to me through my prayers.
To my chair, Dr. Shari Prior--words cannot express how grateful I am to you. You have listened to me cry, panic, and get angry, and you have always been the voice of calm and reason. You supported my big ideas and you pulled me out of the deep end when I was drowning. You were my favorite professor from Day one at CSM and I could not have picked a better person to guide me through this process. To my committee members, Dr. Rebecca Hoss and Dr. Lois Linden, thank you for your time, feedback, and support which allowed me to be successful in this endeavor. A special thank you to Dr. Linden for stepping in at the last minute for my dissertation defense--I am so grateful for you! Thank you to Dr. Mirna Mejia for your early contributions to this project.
Thank you to my parents who constantly encouraged my academic pursuits and taught me that anything that I want is attainable as long as I never give up. Thank you all for making my last two semesters as stress-free as possible and ensuring that my document was edited. To Angelie Esquivel and Trina Blue, my A-1s, since Day 1, thank you for always having my back and being there at my highest highs and lowest lows. You two are my best friends and life

wouldn't be worth living without you in it. To Johanna Lopez, you have been so supportive, especially during this last year with everything that I have gone through. Thank you for loving and accepting me the way that you do, and always keeping me laughing.
Thank you to all of my family and friends who have supported me from Honolulu to Austin to Chapel Hill to Kent to Omaha. A special shout-out to my College of Saint Mary cohort, especially Dr. Kristen McNulty, for taking this journey with me. Thank you Kristen for always reaching out and never forgetting about me despite our distance and our life circumstances.
Finally, to my protector, my future husband, and my best friend...thank you for sharing this life journey with me and showering me with unconditional love and understanding. Colt, you are my backbone, and everything that I have given to this project is because you have encouraged me to never give up despite the setbacks. I could not have finished this without your love, your drive, and your guidance. T? eres mi inspiraci?n y mi mundo. ?Te amo...m?s!
