I wish to acknowledge my grandfather Bob, here today, just shy of his 90th birthday. Bob has been one of my biggest supporters and reminds me to never let my standards slip. Bob and Gran were big believers in opportunity through education and raised three independent, strong minded, and determined women, my mother and my aunts, who were all successful in their chosen fields. My mother and my aunts were my role models as a child. Because of them and how I was raised, I believed I could achieve anything that I set my mind to. My mother passed on to me this belief in opportunity through education, and I was fortunate to receive a great education at Cornwall Park District School, Greenhithe Primary School, and St Cuthbert's College.
