you both have influenced me more than you could ever imagine. I would like to acknowledge my only cohort completing a thesis with me, Tiffany C. Evans-we did it. I would like to thank the faculty of Buena Vista High School in Saginaw, Michigan, especially Mrs. Johnson the best high school counselor a student could ask for. I would like to acknowledge David Anderson for helping me become the man I am today. I would like to give a special acknowledgement and thank you to Professor Jan Carew. Professor, just knowing you has truly been a honor and inspiration. I would like to acknowledge my former students at Mountain Gap Middle School, Lowe's Grove Middle School, and Wilcox Central High School. As I hoped to have inspired you, you all iv have inspired me. Lastly, I would like to acknowledge the late Ruthie Lee Tanner. Grandma, though you are no longer with us, your influence and love shall always be here.
