This book is dedicated to my family. I learned my social skills and resiliency from my mother, Margaret Semrud, and father, Ray Semrud. I learned how to work with people, deal with conflict and love from my siblings: David Semrud, Karen Cameron, Kathy Peterson, Richard Semrud, Laurie Semrud, and Amy Steva. There is no way I can ever repay all of the love and support I have received from my family to pursue my dreams.
