In conclusion...


Wow, I am surprised of all the things I have accomplished during my time here at Bradley University. My senior Public Relations campaign gained local and national media coverage. It also was awarded a multi-county award. I am also proud of the letters I received from First Lady Michelle Obama and President Obama. The list of accomplishments for the campaign goes on and on.
When I think of my time at Bradley, the several interviews I have had with Representative Bob Michel will always stand out. He is not only my husband's second cousin, but an ideal example of what being a great leader should be. He is a very down to earth person. He is not at all like most politicians. He is a genuine person who cares more about his country than the popularity polls.
Also, I am so blessed to have had the experience of making such wonderful friends and having great, astounding, and first class instructors. In my personal opinion, the professors are what make Bradley University such a great school. They have given me the strength and the encouragement I needed to succeed. It is not easy being a non-traditional student, attending a school that is tailored to the traditional students. My professors respected me as a person and were always glad to have me in their classes. Each and everyone of the professors has contributed to all of my success here at Bradley by just encouraging me, helping me to further develop my skills, and by just being  great role models.  For example, I had the honor to work beside two of Bradley's finest professors on a Literature review that will be published in the May/June, 2012 issue of the Journal of Muslim and Media Research. On April 18, 2012, I will be presenting the research I composed to the Bradley University public. This will be the last chapter written in my book about my journey as an undergraduate and it is my chance to have a big exit. In conclusion, this is my opportunity and I plan on making the best of it.

Congratulations! I have so much respect for nontraditional students. I admire the determination and insane organization that it takes to go back to school.

Thanks:) It does take a lot of courage to go back to school with students who are younger. Your kind words mean so much. Thank you!!
