Thank you for the update, Justin! I found your page back in February 2023 and you were one of the reasons I enrolled at South College. Your channel was so motivating. I started on March 1 and was able to accelerate and finish the first 8 courses by May 21. I have been in course 9 since May 22 and I’m about to turn in my last assignment (prospectus) this weekend and then start my dissertation! My goal is to finish in two terms, so I will have a little over 7.5 months to get my dissertation completed and defended. Thanks for providing all of the updates on your journey. Best of luck to you sir!
I love hearing these types of stories! They are not just great for me to read but also for others. You are a true accelerator and proving the path of directing your own learning. It sounds like you're well positioned to finish the dissertation within the next term. Awesome job!
@@lifebyjustin I meant to say I started Feb 2024, not 2023. I had a lot of time when I started to devote to my studies, like you did. I was on FMLA from work at that time due to having surgery, so I used the time laying in bed all day to be productive with my coursework. I was able to get the first 4 courses complete in 5 weeks because I just worked all day every day on them because I couldn’t physically do anything else. Thank you so much…your channel was truly inspiring and one of the huge factors of why I enrolled!
I just discovered your channel a few days ago. I have been hoping you’d post again soon with an update. Thank you for posting. I start on 7/1 at South College.
Glad I posted in the nick of time to pique your interest! July 1 is soon; it's crazy to think that's a year ago from when I started. Time will go by fast in the program.
@@lifebyjustin Yes I found came across your videos right on time. I hope that you continue to update us on your journey. Congratulations on your new position!
Glad to hear from you Justin! Life sometimes gets in the way, and you have to do what’s best for you. I know whatever is next on your journey will be brilliant. Thank you for all you’ve done for us in the CBE community!
Thank you for the update, Justin. Always appreciate your insights and hope to see more content from you in the future. Take care and best wishes in your new job!
Thank you for the update. Glad to hear that you are doing YOU! congratulations on the new job, and thank you for sharing your South College journey; It helped me- I start in July and I am super excited.
I appreciate you saying that. It's hard to prioritize oneself, but I have no regrets about the decision. And thanks for the well wishes! July 1 is just a few days away. I started a year ago, which is crazy to think about. One year zips by
Justin, it's great to hear from you and that you're doing well. Your videos were huge in my decision to attend South College, which i began February 1 2024. Some life occurrences delayed me all of Feb, but I'm 1/2 through Class #4 and expect to be through course 5 by the end of term 1 in July. Just wanted to thank you for your inspiration, and I wish you success in your future pursuits.
BDJ Tech, no problem at all. Thanks for the well wishes. Glad you made it into the program. I know you were considering your options and when to join SC. Five courses in the EdD or DBA are a lot! People don't realize how much work it is. Good luck with the start of the second term
I appreciaite your videos. Your voice has mattered a lot to people considering WGU or SC. Do you think your speed, (out of necessity) through the program contributed to your not finishing?
I appreciate that comment, thank you! To me, speed wasn't a factor in why I took a break. Even though I was in a good state and rhythm when I left, I had to shift my priorities because of personal circumstances. But there were times when I felt overwhelmed by the work around the 5th course, not so much due to the pace but because some courses felt constrained by their academic nature. I got out of that mindset around course 7 and found the 8th and the parts of the 9th course I completed most enjoyable.
