I am so astounded for you Kathy, great job you go, I believe in exceptional education, but you have so much more going than just that. Girl, I have been writing an essay for one of my classes at the University of Phoenix, and I come across one of your other writings from September 22, 2009, now I cannot find that piece. I am needing some more information on the “E I A” what do the initials stand for, I know that this is your piece so I am not plagiarizing any of it, I am doing a piece on gas prices, this is all. I would truly like to say congrats to your hard efforts, exceptional job “Kudos” to you through graduation.
