Dream5: Orienting towards a PhD
Lippy had always dreamed of a PhD degree. Her father had made it in his time and so, if there were a few naysayers about it, she needn’t pay them attention. It was one of her dreams to get a doctoral degree in Computer Science and Engineering.
Having found her soulmate and getting along well with her new job plus having raised her kids to some extent (which were all still her dreams!!), she knew she could follow her dream of getting a PhD as well. It would naturally have to be in the same city she lived to make things easier. She knew it was possible in her heart and she loved to remember Audrey Hepburn’s quote at this time: ”Nothing is Impossible. The word itself says I’m possible!!”
She would love to pursue a career in teaching after that once again. Life seemed sweet to be able to dream these dreams. This is what she wrote in her word processing editor about this dream of hers and saved it somewhere safe. After all, the title she would have, having her dream accomplished, sounded too cool: Dr. Lippy Adnan!! Here goes:
“Have excellent relationship with my supervisor all throughout the years. And I am generously and properly funded all through. I understand my supervisor crystal clear and lucidly most of the times. We work together along with his/her other students in a university that fits me well. I make productive contributions in implementations and in writing all throughout. I write papers in journals and conferences. Make excellent interactions and communications not only with the supervisor but also with his/her other students, and I get interested in their works as well. I pass through each phase of the PhD studies in Computer Science and Engineering gracefully and successfully and climb my ladder of success up to my dissertation and defense by the will of God and also me. I earn my PhD victoriously eventually.”
