    I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who saw me through these last four months. Thanks to Rob, my study partner throughout law school, for cracking the whip in the weeks leading up to the bar exam. Without his help, I probably would not have been as focused or as prepared as I was to tackle the essays and the MBE. Also thanks to Robin who motivated me to keep up with my outlines and let me to borrow her BarBri notes when I was running late for lecture. Thanks also go to my extended family in Ohio, Illinois, California, and New Jersey who, in the ensuing madness of graduation and bar exam preparation, gave me their prayers, encouragement and support.

But most of all, thanks to Mom and Dad! They "walked" me to my car via cell phone during those midnight-ending study sessions, making sure I made it home in one piece. They drove down to Columbus with me so that I would not have to worry about traffic and parking. Every morning both went to the cathedral and prayed for Divine Guidance. And when all was said and done, they took me to Michigan's Upper Penninsula for golf and a much needed R&R. I could not have done any of this without their love, support, and prayers.
