I would like to thank my mother, Richardene Caso, for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader and always giving unselfishly so I could be the “best me I could possibly be.” My grandmother, Lucinda Williams, for showing me how good God “really is.” Thank you for making sure everything at home was taken care of so I could focus on my education.
