Goal: Lifting Up One Eyebrow… Status: In-Progress

I love my kid’s determination and perseverance.  Ever since she was a little girl, she was always fascinated by my ability to lift up one eyebrow.  I am able to raise my left eyebrow and she is determined to do the same.  As you can see, she is still working on it.  Mastery.  “Keep trying honey and you will succeed.”  This sounds vaguely familiar.  Oh waits… it’s much like me and my dissertation.  “Keep trying Christine and you will succeed.”  I am enamored by university professors, researchers, and sessional instructors.  One step at a time… a good friend once told me.  I’m starting to take some steps and realizing that there are many steps.  Much like my kid, I am determined, persistent, and making progress.  Last week, I got formative feedback from both members of my EdD supervising committee.  Loved it.  I learned a tonne and it’s only going to get better.  I am optimistic and look forward to taking more steps.  BELIEVE and it will happen.
