I normally do not post long drawn out posts on here but this post is well deserved to all the people that helped me make achieving my degree possible. First, I will start off with my husband Randy LaBree. Without his support and dedication to helping me with household chores, household errands, keeping the children occupied, cooking many meals, and listening to me complain and nag when things seemed overwhelming, I may have not completed my schooling. He was a HUGE part of my support group and I love him dearly for all that he did for me to make my dream become a reality. My children played a huge role in my achievement as well. They all understood that my school work was a major priority and they would have to accept that I could not devote the time to them that they were used to. Jonathan Freber, Kristin Howard, her husband Steven Howard, Eddie Freber, his wife Katie Rae Freber I want to give all of you a special thank you for helping me achieve my degree without causing me grief. A special thank you to my mother and father for having faith in me and and constantly letting me know how proud you were of me. Your encouragement gave me the courage and strength to keep working hard at achieving my goal. I have a handful of friends that also deserve a special thank you. Vannessa Williams, Brandi Rea Wheatley, and my best friend Michelle Lewis. The three of you gave me so much support throughout my journey and I could not ask for better friends than all of you! My sister Sharon Tobias Frost was my rock through my journey. When I would be overwhelmed and wanted to quit she would make me realize that I really wanted to continue. She pushed me to strive to my fullest and achieve me goals. If it was not for her being there for me I do not know if I would have achieved me Bachelors degree. She was a true inspiration (whether she realizes it or not) to me as I watched her many struggles as she achieved her Masters degree in accounting. Only the people that are extremely close to me know the true struggles that I encountered while achieving my degree. It was a very difficult road to go down but I knew deep down inside I would reach the end of that road one day. I could not have been more proud to walk across that stage today and I could not have done it without my support group. Thank you to each and every one of you and if I missed anyone a special thanks to you as well.
