Inspired Action

Build momentum. Lose momentum. Gain momentum. Lose momentum. Find momentum. No momentum. Yup, that pretty much summarizes my dissertation journey so far. It’s absolutely frustrating… for others. I can understand that. For me, I am not frustrated. I have been annoyed. I have been confused. I have been uncertain. A classic condition of an ABD student… Cognitive paralysis. Some people enter the program ready, others do not. I am of the latter. Now, it’s time to LEAN IN. I had much “work” to do on myself before moving forward with my academic writing. I needed to feel good about what I am writing about and there was not enough encouragement, validation, or extrinsic reward to expediate my sense of readiness. In math education, if the learner is not ready, he/she is not ready. I am no different as a doctoral student. Now, it’s become quiet. INSPIRED ACTION. It’s time to write. I am ready. I am aligned. #callingtheshot #EdDcandidate
