Comments/Acknowledgements
I would like to acknowledge my professor, advisor and good friend Jerry Wellik. Jerry guided me through my journey to becoming a special education teacher as an undergrad student and encouraged me to continue my education. Not only was he there as a professor, but as a friend to lift me up when I was down and to just talk through things with me when I needed. He kept encouraging me and made sure I had the confidence to move forward. I would not have done this without him. Thank you Jerry.
