What does it take to turn a dream into reality? For me, the path to a PhD was filled with moments of doubt, resilience, and excitement. This is the story of how I navigated the highs and lows of the application process, faced my fears, and ultimately took a bold step toward my academic and professional future.

Starting a blog has been on my mind for a while. As I embark on my PhD journey, I want to create a space that not only documents my experiences but also contributes to the broader conversation about higher education. This blog is more than a personal journal; it is a commitment to transparency, open access education, and accountability.
