experience

"It is only with experience that you begin to understand everything you do not know."

As I enter the Comprehensive Exams portion of my doctoral program, I realize that I am beginning to understand. Education is an interesting construct. It is personal, and it means different things to people. Education flows along a continuum, and begins to take different meanings as a person grows older. Perhaps the experience truly is the education.

next year(ish)

“When do you finish your doctorate?”

I’ll finish this time next year. Spring 2023. So, one more year of doctoral studies before I earn my degree. And, that’s only if I hustle. 

It’s a long road…
