Acknowledgments

As we create, we keep in mind that everything we do is an imitation of the great creations of God. We are reflections of Him, made in His image. There’s nothing we can think of, or make, that God already hasn’t conceived of. It’s humbling to think about and makes us appreciate the gifts of creativity He has given us. At the end of the day, glory goes to Him. We are thankful that He gives us so many ways to express our souls…

A special thank you to Professor Doody, the English Department, and the Synecdoche Team for making the production of this journal possible! God has graced Vanguard with a department who understands that creativity is a journey more than a skill. The dedication they have for their students and staff is insurmountable. Thank you.

Also, thank you to the talented Alysha Muñiz, our Production Editor, for designing our cover and the entire journal.
