Wow…not sure what to say. The work is so rewarding and the colleagues are wonderful, but it is so hard. I know, I know, a Ph.D. should be hard and I agree – my career is also fulfilling and wow…need to get it done. Adult Education is a passion of mine and studying it while also acting it is even more intriguing. I can see how some of these theories work and how context is so important to them all – some work for me, some work for others, perhaps some work for none…still figuring that out. CAn I study my experience for a diss? I don’t think so, but a biography of the part-time phd would be great…a guidebook so to speak…something we can also hand out to our other adult students. I used to think the end would come, but it never ends…the research is ongoing – as it should be – and our role as educators must always be this hard – we need to get things done, bring about change and transformation
although sometimes I do look for the end, my spirit always renews…
