I feel on top of the world today! After 9 drafts and 8 weeks of writing my Chapter 1 of my dissertation has been approved (big sigh)! I am thrilled at the accomplishment and what it means. I am able to travel to my colloquia next week and see my instructors and classmates….but more importantly I have reached an amazing milestone in this gargantuan dissertation process. I am really doing this! I’m grateful to Capella, my family, friends, classmates, and mentor for all of the encouragement and support they have all given me.

Who in your life are you grateful for?
