Quitting teaching two years ago was a big step for me. Entering the doctoral progrm at TWU has been quite the journey. It's hard to remember how hard that first semester was, but I'm so excited to be done with my coursework. This week I finish my very last class and begin studying for my qualifying exams this fall. I just wanted to say how much I appreciate all of those doctoral students and professors that have contributed to these challenging yet rewarding two years. I couldn't have done it without all of their help. John and the kids have also been great about understanding that there are times when I've got to do homework or write a paper. They give me my space, make dinner for me, and pick up chores around the house so that I can focus on school. I never would have been able to do it without them either. I am hoping to slow down a little bit this fall because I've only got the independent study class designed to help me pass the qualifying exam. I look forward to working with Dr. Briggs. She's solid. I've met so many wonderful students and been able to learn so much with them. Many opportunities have been placed in my path, and I've enjoyed learning from each one of them. It's not over, but I feel I am at least close to that first major hurdle. I look forward to studying with Kathy, Jen, and Joli this fall. We can do it ladies!
