I would like to thank those individuals who have contributed to the creation of my CD 315 project.  First and foremost, I must thank my instructor, Mrs. McComas.  She provided me with the assignment and required the inclusion of an aspect of literacy.  She also guided me in the formulation of my research question, which ultimately led me in the right direction.  She has been most helpful throughout all of my undergraduate experiences – thank you, Mrs. McComas!

 I must also thank another professor, Dr. Corrigan, who first required me to study an aspect of educational curricula.  One of his course assignments introduced me to the necessity for bilingual professionals within the public school systems of our country.  I never thought I would thank a professor for requiring me to do so much work, but I realize that I actually learned something. 

Finally, I must thank my family and friends for always supporting me in my academic endeavors.  When I have alot of work to do I am often difficult to live with, be with, speak to, and tolerate!  I take my school work very seriously, often too seriously, but I thank you all for putting up with me.  You are all amazing – thank you!
