Two-Day Game Warning: Almost the End of Regulation !
As I approach my Big Day (Public Dissertation Defense ) to complete my Doctor of Philosophy , my journey toward this ultimate goal may be drawing to a close while my next one toward my career advancement will begin.
However, my Ph.D. pursuit has helped me grow, not just professionally , but also personally , and most of all: spiritually . Furthermore, this undertaking couldn’t have been accomplished single-handedly: GOD’s grace provided, JESUS’ example was all-sided, and the HOLY SPIRIT’s light guided, in addition to Team Dr. D, who had my back. I forever will be grateful to the †Heavenly HOLY TRINITY† and my positive supporters here on Earth , who’ve rooted me on all the way , leading up to this Tuesday, December 8 ~ save-the-date
My next anticipated title this Advent : Tita Elaine .
We expect my future niece or nephew to arrive around CHRISTmas time ~ the very 1st grandchild of my parents , who recently celebrated their ♥wedding♥ anniversary . Yes, my family is very blessed . Regardless of these joyous times, I pray that we’ll always turn to the LORD , as we lead our lives here while preparing our eternal home in Heaven .
Sending peace and goodwill to San Bernadino, CA, in the wake of this terrorist tragedy. ✌

Lately, I’ve been in conference calls with doctoral graduates for tips on getting on the grind and finishing our respective terminal degrees . Here are some of the paraphrased pieces of profound advice that they imparted to this candidate, yours truly, as I push through my dissertation :
Dr. Alex
You’ll graduate in †GOD† ‘s time
If †GOD† led you this far, He won’t leave you at this point.
Dr. Díaz
It takes ♥love♥ and commitment because it is a labor of ♥love♥ .
Treat your dissertation as your job by putting in your hours and ♥love♥ what you do.
*Also, my aforementioned colleague — with whom I used to teach in South Texas who always has been a brilliant mastermind and now has his book on the way (about the border, around the corner) — who is a fellow, active Catholic, who pointed out that we all have our †cross † to bear , established this group for St. Joseph the Worker
… to whom he would pray everyday before writing his dissertation.
Dr. Toya
Treat your dissertation as your final project : the last assignment that you need to graduate.
Write an affirmation …
… and place it on your bathroom mirror…
… or refrigerator.
I also posted it on my desk!
I’m ♥ lovin’♥ it
Constant reminders may be just the key to my Ph.D. Dr. D Coffeebeats teeth )!

It is official: my study has been approved!
Needless to say, when I was notified that I can commence my research, I was overjoyed and grateful to GOD . During every free moment, I have worked on my dissertation, from my concept proposal to my proposal defense to my research proposal ~ it surely has paid off!
Here is more information about my study:
I am surveying Texas student-athletes on their perceptions of how their college coaches’ leadership influences their academic and athletic performance, as well as their athlete satisfaction. Based on my own studies of leadership, this element is essential:
***VISION***
When I asked my former boss at the first college where I taught what she needed to complete her Ph.D., she pointed out to me:
***PERSEVERANCE***
When I asked my former office next door neighbor at that same school what got her through her terminal degree, she told out me:
***ENDURANCE***
… which also helped her with her first 5K race, which we randomly ran together!
