Have you ever wanted to produce or complete something and it wouldn’t come to pass? What was it?

My My My!!! One of my greatest desires was to get my Ph.D by the time I turned 25. After completion of my Bachelor’s Degree, I immediately entered a Master’s program and was then accepted into a Doctoral program at Cornell University. After a year at Cornell, I decided to leave to get some post master work experience. I worked a few years and then embarked on a teaching career at Benedict College. Several of my mentors encouraged me to pursue my Ph.D and I was accepted into the Dual Degree Program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. By the Grace Of God, I completed the course work in three years and began work on my dissertation. The Dean of the College encouraged me to seek a teaching position and thereafter sent my resume to several different Universities. In summary, I accepted a teaching position at the University of Houston and continued to work on my dissertation. However, I only completed three chapters of the dissertation before my father took ill. I am not certain if it was fortunate or unfortunate but I have languished in the ABD graveyard for too many years. I have allowed many distractions and disruptions to prevent my completion of my Doctoral Degree. As of date, I still have not completed my Ph.D. 2022 is the Year of Victory.
