    I wish I’d found your videos sooner! I’m a 2nd year PhD student and I’m really struggling with motivation at the moment, but just watching a few of your videos has given me a bit of reassurance that I’m actually doing okay and I will get through the next 2 years. So thank you!

    • @KAIZORIANEMPIRE
      @KAIZORIANEMPIRE 4 года назад

      please don't have role models. People will let you down as they're human. Have inspirations and leave it at that. For example she took time off for personal reasons due to her families circumstances can't share details, imagine you are a young black girl wanting to follow her footsteps as she becomes a professor only to find out she took a different route? now she may continue or not it's up to her, the point is, don't have role models, have inspirations. And yes she is very inspirational to many people;

    "Write everything down" PREACH IT. I will eventually learn that "oh, I'll remember that. I don't need to write that down" is the biggest lie that I tell myself.

    • @sabahmariyam7456

      Check platforms such as Coursera, EdX or Udemy. I would recommend Coursera/ there are so many options there to gain knowledge. If you need a certificate, you can purchase it once you’re done with the course. Have a check. I hope this helps. Good luck!

    A PhD seems very scary. The very prospect of having to write a long ass thesis for 4 years...added with poor funding, I couldn’t do it. I commend anyone who can though.

      suzan math I can’t see why it should! If anything, it should strengthen the application as it shows you are dedicated to the topic. Just make sure you emphasise on your practical experience. Good luckN
