Before the course, I struggled to choose which type of research I would do. At first, I believed that my topic was suited for quantitative research. After taking EDUC 915, I knew that would not be the correct choice. I came out of that course confused and thinking that I needed to change my topic. During the duration of this course, I began to feel a little more confident in my research abilities. I was able to find some great sources and I was able to express my facts with detail. I was able to show a lot of knowledge for my research topic and present to the audience in a way that could be understood. I struggled with writing the research design portion of Chapter 3.
Overall, I do feel more prepared to be successful in the dissertation process. This class has given me the tools needed to be able to revise the issue that I have had in my research form. It has also given me the ability to take deep dives into research to be able to find the evidence needed to be successful.
My concerns in completing the dissertation have nothing to do with my ability as a scholar or a writer. One thing that I realized with this course was that I have a lot of things going on around me. I have a full time job as a SPED teacher that requires an abundance of paperwork. I am a wife and a mother to two elementary age children. I am one of the caretakers for my parents, which both have mobility issues. We also had a few family emergencies mixed into all of this. I am depended on by a number of people. This semester was a wake up call for me about learning to balance life, ask for help or support, or just learn that some things will have to be put on hold for what is important. How I intended to address this situation is to ask for my support from my family and manage my time more wisely. I can not be all things to all people.

The rigorousness and extensiveness of a Ph.D. program have significantly intimidated me initially. Unbeknown to me was the level of reading and time consumed to complete assignments with the exquisite details they entail, such as in-depth literature reviews, complex data analysis, and rigorous academic writing standards. I confess to being mortified by it. New intellectual, physical, and social routines were adopted and reinforced to pass classes successfully. Thankfully, those routines become second nature, allowing me to be comfortable with the required intellectual acuteness worthy of the program. Producing a draft of chapter three of my dissertation is an encouraging accomplishment in pursuing a Ph.D., which is a long journey. Previous classes, especially this one, have prepared me to tackle and complete my dissertation. Part of that preparation is the increased confidence level, critical thinking, and writing skills, attainable through each completed assignment, professors’ guidance and comments, and peers’ feedback, which further solidified my progress. While acknowledging progress in that journey, I also understand that preparation is not completed and will never be fully completed. Thus, I am humbly excited to learn as much as possible in the remaining classes.
The laboriousness and tediousness aspect of a dissertation demands an even higher commitment to conducting and producing a valid and credible research study, according to the highest known standards. My responsibilities, such as husband and father, teaching and leading pastor, conference speaker, writer, and adjunct professor, and how to handle them all concern me deeply. Addressing this critical concern is essential to be successful in this endeavor. As part of a plan, I am prepared to make significant sacrifices. I intend to limit any speaking engagements significantly, if not declining them all, pause my writing activities, stop teaching for a few semesters, and even reduce my involvement in congregational teaching to focus more on writing my dissertation. These inexhaustive steps will be conducive to gathering much of my focus on the daunting task. Besides sleeping early, when possible, and waking up at midnight to study and write, these reinforced routines will provide a peaceful environment where I can study, write, and be most productive. I cannot afford to be a part-time husband and father to my wife and son, respectively. Therefore, I will seek a balance between my family responsibilities and conducting my research study, which my family and I agreed on before entering the program, as I benefit from their unconditional support.
These established steps, though important, will be unlikely to guarantee a smooth dissertation writing process, as I expect the unexpected. However, I am confident in adapting and adjusting to unforeseen situations. With the help of professors and the dissertation committee, I am sure that any unforeseen challenges can be overcome, ensuring that the dissertation process is completed and adds to the body of knowledge about the phenomenon under study.
