Which Brings us to Today… July 10, 2006
Posted by thinkphd in : MGT5031 , trackbackSo far in this journal, I have been pulling the reader up to today.
Here is where I am, now….not quite halfway through my first course at NCU. Along the way, I have met and networked with a few nice folks. Eric Brown provided inspiration and encouragement to begin this blog. Be sure to visit Eric’s Ph.D. Journey for additional insight regarding his experiences at NCU.
I have found NCU learners in some of the groups and newsgroups that I read. I have had a few emails from other learners welcoming me to NCU. My academic counselor, Rita, has been very nice to answer some very dumb questions. I tell my students that an education is one thing that no one can ever steal or take away from them. Every moment that is spent learning is spent wisely.
Now that I have made the commitment to return to school, I know that it will not be easy or fast. I will have to be content with taking one course at a time, working two jobs, and trying to be a wife and mother to people who matter.
Is it worth it?
I think so.
“Education, therefore, is a process of living
and not a preparation for future living.”
- John Dewey

It’s worth it! This is our way of life-learning, exploring, evoloving-and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
Keep up the good work. It is definitely worth it!

To Amanda, thanks soulmate!
To Eric, thanks for the encouragement. I look forward to your blog posts!
I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciate the information about your graduate experience. It is really nice to see others going though similar experiences.I recieved my MPA from Troy State and enrolled at NCU in the PhD program in Business Management with a specializationin Public Administration in Sept. 2004. I am currently in DIS 9007 and I am working on finalizing my proposal. The journey continues and I have recently found that sites such as this enhance the whole online experience.
