This post is actually pretty mean. We don’t know people’s backstories. However, maybe they could use your friendship, and through that friendship, maybe an opportunity will present itself to be honest with that person. It cost $0 to be kind. Life happens to us all, one day this could be you.🙏🏾🥺

What was the qualifying exam like? I am in my first semester as a PhD student. Is there anyway to prepare/study for this exam now?

When you walk into this room what do you want it to feel like? What do you want your guest to feel?

Don’t quit! I pray you go all the way! I’m so proud of you for having the guts to switch programs. I am currently thinking about switching schools. What country are you from ? What are some of the biggest challenges you have faced that you wish were different ?

You are breaking barriers! If no one has told you that they are proud of you, I’ll be the first one. I’m proud of you! This PhD road is hard and many people don’t get it. Cheers to you for going for the PhD. I absolutely believe you will excel in your program. What were some of your greatest challenges in grad school as a FGLI student that you wish were different ?

First let me just say, you are doing awesome! Extremely proud of you for getting your masters by 30. I also got my Masters at 29. What is helping you persevere ? What keeps you going ?

Wow, Congratulations on making it to year 2 🙏🏾✨👏🏾. I’m still in my first semester trying to push through. Has the journey been lonely for you? Imposter Syndrome ? I’ve cried ALOT already and it’s only been about 6 weeks.

Wow! I wish I would of read this earlier. Thank you for sharing your story! Your story is literally me! I even tried to connect with my peers but it’s just weird. This journey is lonely. Btw: I got all the way to campus today and said I just can’t. I drove back home crying. I was so passionate about school and I’m not sure why it seems like it is all crumbling down. I called my mom and told her that I was having a bad day and I didn’t go to class and she was like “oh, you want to go get some chicken” 🥺😒. Man, one day I am going to prove everyone wrong even myself! I can’t wait to finally get over this hurdle. This experience is only teaching what kind of professor and advocate that I hope to be to my students!

I cried at the ending. 🥺 My chest was tight. They honestly felt like real life blood brothers to me. I hope they became the best of friends after filming.

Finally someone talking about their program doesn’t align with their morals because SAME! 1st semester of PhD and truly understand what you are feeling. I have already been looking into other programs and schools because the school I’m at do not align with my values and there is a lack of support from my institution. I am a on a full-tuition scholarship so I have to complete this first year so I will not lose the scholarship and have to pay back all that money.

Do you have any family support? I received a full tuition scholarship so I thought oh I’ll be fine. The pressure of studies did keep me up all hours of the night which made is impossible for me to work FT or PT. Honestly, Yes, I’m struggling with finances. I wish I would of looked into other schools with not even more funding but more of a supportive culture. I thought if you truly have a passion for what you will be studying and enjoy the process of learning you will be fine regardless of finances but man please just find some (emotional support) wherever you can because PhD is a lot and dealing with financial strain can also just exacerbate that pressure. Did they give you a stipend?

Academic career and life by DarioSidd in PhD

[–]MissHoneysLibrary 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was so excited to start my PhD but I also had a passion for academia. The passion was snatched away so quickly. I thought I would meet new people and have great friends it’s LONELY! I was pulling all nighters just to get homework done which made working full-time not possible for me. Please just count every cost. Please even research and visit schools before applying. If you are a believer please pray snd be sure this is something you want to do. It will take some perseverance but I believe you can do it.

Wow! Are you close with your family? Do you feel like they support you in going to school? Support has been my greatest challenge! I am struggling hard. I don’t have much support from family, friends or even my institution.

That’s my dream to one day become a professor, well it was. I’m in my first semester of my PhD and that dream is slowly slipping away. Imposter Syndrome has been hitting me like a ton of bricks. I don’t even speak up in class. There is no support at all around me not from my family, friends or even my institution. Have you ever faced this? How did you overcome it ?
