“No matter how far the material world advances, it cannot establish the happiness of mankind. Only when material and spiritual civilization are linked and coordinated will happiness be assured.” “Freedom is not a matter of place. It is a condition…when one is released from the prison of self, that is indeed freedom! For self is the greatest prison.”

-‘Abdúl-Bahá

I want to express my heart felt gratitude for my classmates, for being here for me and support me in various ways during our education.

I also want to show my gratitude for my family and friends. They showed support in every way from afar, many hours spent on online conversations, being here with me in hardships, lifting my spirit so I can keep moving forward.

Not the least, my dearest teacher and mentor, Dr. Angela M. Rawlings, for always being here for all of us, accompany us. As a mentor, you've been with me every step of the way, being part of making this happen. I am so grateful for having you as a mentor!
