My PhD Journey

Excitement (Honeymoon) Period:

Got my passport (CMBA) to PhD My destiny

Accepted by faculty and supervisor I must be good

Given full Zamalah scholarship I deserve it

Thought itd be smooth-sailing

No sweat

Procrastinating attitude

Long time to go, no worries

Inconsistent reading/writingJust choose what I want

My PhD Journey (cont.)

Struggling Period:

Confused, uncertain I am lost in a jungle

Internal & external doubt What am I getting myself into

Exhausted during qualitative process OMGssss

Self-lifting Period:

Re-planned, moved forward step by step Go to sleep,tomorrow will be alright

Attended workshops pay the

price to go and learn; invest

Talked to other postgraduatestudents Youre not alone

My PhD Journey (cont.)

Assuring Period:

Co-authoring papers I should be on the right track

Understanding what I did not Only now I see

Balancing between learning new things and maintainingthe main study I admit I dont know, so I wanna learn

Seeing-the-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel Period:

Analyzing and writing No easy but will do it

To be continued I am savoring the learning process

Concluding Notes

Gift from students for guidingthem.

To me guiding students is sthspontaneous if I can be of help;

no reward is needed norexpected. Besides, I am fullyaware that I am indebted tothose who guide me inacademia, and one of the bestways to repay them is to passon what I have learnt fromthem to students.

Nevertheless, thank you.
