Acknowledgments


 * Acknowledgments:** The first person I would like to acknowledge is Mr. Martin for guiding me through the individual steps of my senior project and report. He contributed different ideas for my project on inner-city poverty, such as a fundraiser, posters to raise awareness, and documenting my time at a soup kitchen. Dr. Valenza also offered her guidance and wisdom on various credible and scholarly sources. I was having a difficult time discovering in-depth sources about poverty in the inner-cities and Dr. Valenza introduced me to databases and websites that were very helpful for me. I would also like to acknowledge my dad, my mentor, for directing me in this process. He helped me conjure creative ideas for my project that would help me raise awareness as well as contribute to society. Lastly, I would like to thank my peers for revising and editing my work. Without the contributions of each of these individuals I would not be as confident in my project and report as I am. Thank you.
