And I just want to thank Highline Community College for their support and everything that they've done for me. I am so happy to be here. My major was becoming a chemical dependency counselor and I just never thought that I would succeed because at the time I was a real motivated. But as time went on I developed the tenacity to keep moving forward in my life and develop in my education. And from here I'll be continuing my education going to Central Washington University majoring in sociology. And I just want to thank a few of my instructors that motivated me. I'd like to thank Dan Driscoe which is my advisor for being patient with me when I had to transfer from one of my interns to another intern. I thank him for that 4.0. And then I also would like to thank Ken Pimpleton. He's a great instructor. And I would like to thank all the rest of my instructors but they just were really motivating me to really uplifting in class. And I'd like to thank all my peers that I went to school with for just motivating me to continue in my education when I found out that I was pregnant. So if you're pregnant and you think that you can't succeed and you have to drop out of school where they do have an early child care program where your baby can transition into daycare. And so she'll be going to daycare with me in the fall as I transition into other programs. And I just thank everybody. And just thank you 2014. Woohoo! Hi I'm Nikki Bain.
