She would like to thank God for the opportunities He has provided, and she would like to thank her family, teachers, and coaches for the constant love and support they have given her over the years. It is because of these individuals, who have selflessly poured time, wisdom, and love into Alex, that she has become a strong minded and independent young lady who is prepared for all future challenges and endeavors she may face in her next chapter of life.
