Dedication
I would like to thank my parents, Reverend and Mrs. Harold Vincent Olson, Jr.,
for their support, encouragement, and prayers in this endeavor. Thank you for instilling
in me the value of hard work and setting goals for myself. To my brothers, Trey and
Eric, thank you for listening to my concerns, offering your support, and making me laugh
when I needed it most. Most importantly, to my husband, Mike, thank you for your
never-ending love and devotion during this roller coaster ride. I love you.
