I am finished! Took one hour. Still can't believe it. Best part is, finished with no changes to be made to my dissertation. I was told that my paper was one of the best, if not the best paper my committee has ever read to date. I was also told that writing is my 'gift.' Not sure if the six people on my committee were being honest, but it felt great to hear them say that! I want to thank everyone here at DegreeInfo for your help. Many times, you've been a shoulder for me to cry on. You rose to assist each time. You helped me through my masters and now this. I finished with a straight 4.0/4.0. I am so happy, but it doesn't feel real. Still, I need to be sure you understand how much I treasure the people here. I could not and would not have been able to accomplish this milestone without you! Thanks!
Their job is to make you feel like the dumbest, least educated person in the world. Since they weren't able to do that, I'd say there's good reason to believe that they were being honest. What? Thank YOU!!!! Success stories are my favorite part of this site. It's good to hear that people are benefiting from this community's collective efforts. It's a great encouragement for people like me who don't have nearly as tough a road to follow as yours, and yet still find a way to make excuses... at: Congratulations!
