Great Graduate!

I’d like to dedicate this time to thank everyone who is behind my success.

First of all, I’d like to thank my friends and family in Thailand. I might have been neglected them since it’s such a long distance. However, they all have been in my heart.

I also would like to thank my New York friends; Ann, Tai, Tong, Boom, Aue, M, P'Coco, TK, Pa'Ben, P'Jimmy -- to name a few -- for their support, relaxing trips and all-night-long parties.

My former co-workers at Fairchild Internet and Conde Nast: Steve, Kathy, Suzanne, Brian, Rachel and Matthew. They were all asked by my school-related questions.

Friends at Facts on File: Kerry, Erik, Jamaal and other people, especially Alice who proofread my thesis. Thanks Lina and James for letting me rehearse my thesis presentation. That was a very big help with all the questions and comments. I really appreciate it.

Matt, thank you very much for everything; proofreading all my papers and helping me with the presentation. I couldn’t thank you more. You were with me all these two years. I still remember when I first called you and told you that I was accepted into the program. Even when I really had a tough time writing my paper; you were there. Thank you so much.

Of course, my mom and my dad. They have been on my side emotionally and financially for 30 years. I wouldn’t have gone this far without their love and support. Profoundly, I’ve grown up to be, at least I would think, a decent woman. I love both of them. They are my heroes.
