My road to my Doctorate.
Starting my Doctorate program. I got accepted into my program in the summer of 2017 and was so terrified I put it off until January 2018. I was still nervous to start when the day came but I was determined. It was not an easy start though. My school started us out with an intro class and a regular full credit class. I had the best professors, but it was a time to learn and get used to the program. I needed to learn to write at that level and the classes were only seven weeks long; things moved fast. If you are not disciplined and on top of things you can get left behind or lost very easily. I set reminders for myself of when I would complete assignments and really stuck to it. Having that discipline was a true-life saver in this program. I ended up with an A in one class and 89.5 not rounded up but a B+ in the second. I was not happy with the B+ but it ended up being one of only two that I received in the entire program.

Student MattersPublished 3 years ago in EducationFrom Amish to MBA
I grew up Amish, and I wrote a short story called Amish Memories. Growing up I used to do the strawberry sales and baked goods from the back of the buggy or the side of the road and even carried the baked good to the neighbors and as a young 5 year old started charging $3.25 for the pies instead of $3.00 that my aunts asked me to charge for them.

Joseph SlabaughPublished 3 years ago in EducationPicking Your Doctoral Topic
Before I begin spitting the advice, let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Jhoanna Amigable. I am a Doctor of Business Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Administration. I am currently a business analyst in a public healthcare facility and worked full-time (and then some) during my doctoral journey. I'm probably like you - I have a family, friends, a career, pets, etc. etc. and I've been trying to navigate this thing called "adulthood" for quite some time. Balancing anything extra on top of a career and family is far from easy, but it's possible! I have a passion for helping people get through things that might be weighing heavy on their shoulders (like a doctoral dissertation) and leaving a positive effect on people that I encounter. So I hope this helps you in one way or another.

Getting My Master's
So, I originally got my BA in Sociology and Anthropology back in 2016. I did not know if I wanted to go further and get my MA. I spent time working in the field with kids in the system and then I started working with adults with disabilities. Earlier this year, I had decided that I wanted to apply for a graduate program given my job has a relationship with some universities for certain programs. I applied for the graduate program for Applied Psychology focusing on Applied Behavior Analysis. I got in and now I am busting my behind trying to make grades.
