There are many people who I need to thank, but the people I must express gratitude to are my Mom, who taught me how to speak and provides me with delicious food to eat everyday , my Dad who introduced me to mathematics , and my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Frye, for motivating me to put forth my best effort in everything I do.

Although, the small problems you taught me may not seem much to you, but to me they deserve a big thank you.
The final person I would like to thank is my 5th grade teacher Mrs. Frye. Because of her creative lesson plans and educational games and the challenge they possessed, I have since been inspired to put forth my best effort. This universal lesson she presented to me indirectly has helped me in every situation possible. Anything I have accomplished has been mainly in part to this lesson she taught me. Because of her positive impact on my life, it is impossible for me to express my gratitude to
