We would like to extend our gratitude to Raleigh Capozzalo for the time, hard work, and dedication that he put into guiding us through the design process. We would also like to express our thanks to AP Orlebeke for all of his work on the online publication. We are extremely grateful to The Masters School for providing us with a space to honestly share our stories, thoughts, and ideas. We would also like to thank the members of our class who have made extra contributions to this project: Sarah, Gabriel, and Owen for the time and effort that you gave to the process of laying out the journal; Anna for your wonderful artwork featured on the cover. And finally, we give our sincerest thanks to Caroline Dumaine for being a constantly inspiring teacher and mentor. Thank you for the consistent support and belief in our class.
