Acknowledgements.
I don't know if I will be able to get around to thanking every person that has helped me to reach another goal in my life, but I'm going to try.
Sean, thank you for encouraging me to follow my heart and my dreams. You inspire me and motivate me every day. I love you.
Mom and Dad, I know it seems like we are so far apart, but you are always in my thoughts and heart. Thank you for teaching me to read when I was young; for teaching me to be open-minded of the world around me; for reminding me to follow my dreams and continue to reach my goals; for believing in me; and for loving me.
Dr. Nguyen, my mentor, you have encouraged me to be a better writer, researcher, and teacher. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of linguistics and technology with me. I am inspired by your ability to share the knowledge that you have in ways that everyone can understand it. Your love for your career is evident and I am honored, and lucky, to have been able to be in your classes.
Dr. Klein, my reader, thank you for making class and every conversation with you interesting. Thank you for helping me to become a better writer. Your occasional jokes alongside my submissions of pieces for my portfolio kept me feeling less stressed out and panicky when that was the direction my mind was headed.
Dr. Lee, thank you for being an ear when I needed to talk, and for being such a wonderful professor. I have learned so much about myself as a teacher this past semester and I owe a lot of that to you.
Professor Jean, thank you for everything you have helped me with this past semester. You have helped me to become a better teacher because you helped me to think outside of the box. I, along with my students, really appreciate that.
