Thank you to my journo school friends - Ambur Wilkerson and Ty Hudson. You rock. 

A special thank you to Dalal Radwan, for not only being my friend, but giving me feedback on an early draft of this story. Someday I hope to be as smart and talented as you.  

Big thanks to all the journalism admin folks who helped me graduate. Seriously. Where would we be without you? 

Thank you to all my journalism professors, your classes impacted me more than you probably know. 

And thank you to Lynn, who encouraged me even as I discouraged myself.
