Dedication: Thank you to Dr. Payne (my mentor), Claudia, my parents, and to Mr. Weatherford, who probably wanted to strangle me for my never-ending absences from Research. More importantly, thank you to my friends who helped me by commiserating and slandering capstone during the darker times. I also appreciate that one day you guys pitched in to buy a ninja stripper.
I think writing the dedication was the best part about capstone. Nicole how long was yours? Mine's 40 pages now, and I still haven't written the speech outline that's due tomorrow or tuesday.
Did we ever get the speech rubric?
And even fewer days until high school graduation and AA degree! So...close..kaput.
(how many of you thought I was older? :)
