      Dedication

      To girls everywhere who are hungry to learn and who have to overcome the low expectations of others to reach their dreams. And to the special men and women who see and encourage the potential in the heart of a girl, giving her room to blossom and grow. And especially to my dad, my mum and my teachers who believed in me and to my daughter and son who amaze me with their creativity and passion to follow their dreams.
