Am I even supposed to be here? I\u2019m just a mom…. with four kids… you know? How can I become credible, and elevate my critical thinking? How can I do those two things as well as produce doctorate level writing that is not natural for me to create? How can I read a book without reading it front to back cover? Am I even doing this correctly? Well… turns out that I am not. However, I am and will always be a driven goal crushing individual. I don’t have to know how to do this but what I have within is a drive that refuses to take no as an answer.<\/p>\n
My notes are novels. When I was going through my associates, bachelors, and masters I thought that the ideal notes were me taking the one slide of power points and producing at least 3-5 additional pages of information. This was true of attending conferences as well. I would listen to the speaker, identify verbatim what they said…. picked out key points and then continued through exploration to deepen my understanding of their lecture. That had meant that I not only listened but processed and researched to dive deeper into what the macro level of information that the professor or lecturer had initially given me. I have always retained information as well as processed details by physically writing down information. How can I unwind and relearn over 20 years of a habit? Am I going to be able to retain it?<\/p>\n
It has always been my great satisfaction to read a book from front to back cover. I have a personality \u00a0that if I start something I have a really hard time not finishing it. I will be in ultimate discomfort through the process when the reading is less than ideal but dang it I finished it. This new concept of not having to read a book from front to back cover is almost like permission that you don’t have to put yourself through that pain of hard to read books. I am so excited to learn a new way fo reading! Sign me up!<\/p>\n
The process of learning how to re-write my thoughts from conversational to academic level has been one of the hardest things. I have always written like I was talking to you, and the move to understandably elevate that has been tough. I am so thankful that my cohort leader has been kind, and helpful through this process. He has provided great critiques to allow me to reframe ideas and get them on paper correctly. I expect to re-write a lot of my research as I learn this new process of writing. This is an area I am very excited to hone in on.<\/p>\n
As a mom, business owner, and non-profit leader my default is to always be in a reactive state. It\u2019s really hard for me to slow down and enhance my critical thinking skills to think beyond the problem… to process it in chunks, and allow for thorough evaluation to produce a quality portfolio.<\/p>\n
