To my father, for his faith in my capabilities, his life lessons, and his handed-on experiences, and for his strength and patience while fighting the threatens to his health.To my mother, for her endless care and love for her family, and for her continuous support over my many weaknesses, where she exercised great and endless patience.To them, who gave me the greatest love, support, and courage I could ever ask over this difficult choice of being a free thinker, and coming to the New World to pursue my happiness.For they never hesitated any single moment to give me the strength to leave my motherland and start anew, elsewhere, far from their arms.
