 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

First and foremost, I would like to thank GOD ALMIGHTY for giving me the strength,

knowledge, ability, and opportunity to undertake this research study and to persevere and

complete it satisfactorily. Without His blessings, this achievement would not have been possible.

In my journey towards this research study, I have found a teacher, an inspiration and a

supporter, MRS.DHONNA BETH TAMPILIC. She has always been there providing her

heartfelt support and guidance and has given me an invaluable guidance, inspiration and

suggestions in my quest for knowledge. She has given me all the freedom to pursue my research,

while silently ensuring that I stay on course and do not deviate from the core of my research.

Without her able guidance, this research paper would not have been possible, and I shall

eternally be grateful to her for her assistance.

I would also like to extend my thanks for my friends, my subject teacher and the one who for

their cooperation and for trusting us to know their opinions with regards to our research study.

And lastly, I wish to thank our parents for the support and encouragement throughout our study.
