I would like to thank the entire team at Packt for believing in my work and for their patience and guidance. I am grateful for my friends who have always supported and pushed me to the challenge on and off the soccer field. To my co-workers, thank you for defining what teamwork is every day. I am thankful to my love, Valentina, who supported and encouraged me to write this book along the journey. I am also so thankful to my students whose challenges and feedback have given me new ideas to write this book. Finally, I would like to acknowledge with gratitude, the love and support of my family—my parents, Petrit and Majlinda, and my sister, Stephanie. This book would not have been possible without them because they have always been there for me from the very beginning.
