“Academically I have realized a dream of mine that I didn’t know would be such a source of pride and accomplishment for me. Learning of this country (the Dominican Republic), the Haitians here, the phenomenon of pica, the hematology, and then coming here and putting it all together has been truly magical. This is something I dreamt up and did. I created this and nurtured it along. This is my baby.”Picture and excerpt from blog 8/10/08 – Jessica Pettigrew
