Thank you

I would like to begin my blog by thanking everyone who has made this trip possible. First, I would like to thank the U.S. Department of State for offering me the Critical Language Scholarship to study Arabic in Morocco. Thank you for considering me a deserving candidate of this very prestigious award.
I would also like to thank my references for this scholarship for making my application a more competitive one. Thank you for believing in my potential.
Last, but not least, I would like to thank my family, friends and professors for being so supportive of everything I do. Especially, I would like to thank my mom, Jennifer Rayward, for always motivating me to be the best that I can. Without her and her support, I would not be the person I am today. Thank you for all your hard work and for giving me all the opportunities you have to accomplish my dreams.
