Researcher.

For the rest of 2020 and 2021, there wouldn’t be much activity on my dissertation proposal. I went through multiple cycles of brainstorming, literature searching, and writing, only to find another bump in the road that would deter me to a new path.

 

At this point, I was tired and decided to let go and let God.

 

“What are you trying to show me, God? You know I don’t like to feel idle. If I’m not supposed to be focused on school, what are my next steps?”
