Weeks 63-67 of 186 (BMAL716)

Weeks 63 through 67 of approximately 186 are in the books in my doctorate program.

Starting another year of grad school today. This marks the seventh year in a row that I have been continuously enrolled.

I look forward to the last Monday of August each year as a time of renewal and new possibilities.

I remember like it was yesterday entering the classroom at UAA for my first class, HPER181. That was in August 2014. I was so young then, even at 44, and wet behind the ears on my educational journey. Even though I completed my first degree way back in 1996, this time was different.

Two degrees down, one more, my doctorate, about 1/3 of the way through. Countless projects, papers, discussion boards, edits, a ton of leadership theory, revisions and probably reading 1000 journal articles thus far.

Also, Michele is starting her journey this week too and she is very excited! Please do me a favor and follow her over on LinkedIn.
