It’s been a while since I felt like writing. Truth be told the only, the only written work I have done has been towards my dissertation. Today is the official day! The official day that I can now say that I only have two months until graduation. Two months away from change the title of my name.
Yesterday after having a conversation with my committee on changes I needed to make to my dissertation. I began to wonder do I have what it takes to make it to the finish line? The dissertation process is like being blind folded in a maze, stuck in the dark, trying to find the exit successful. And in the maze, I keep channeling my inner Kanye West by asking…HOW SWAY? For every step, I have made in my dissertation moments like yesterday made me feel like I took another 10 steps back.
Feeling defeated, I took a break from studying to binge watch YouTube. To my surprise the universe provided me with the vibrational energy I needed to push through. The MazeLee family posted a YouTube video titled Day in the Life of a Super Mom: Getting A PHD With 6 Kids. Alena Maze is an amazing woman! From watching the tribute video…I felt all of her emotions as she spoke to her professor, spoke about needing to finish her dissertation, and not having enough time. At to that, Maze I would just like to say I feel you! Thank you for providing light and encouragement.
As I ponder on my next plan for dissertation execution, I will continue to trust the process. For those that may feel like giving up today, DON’T!
Until next time…
