I have officially completed my fifth semester overall and have only four more semesters until I am Dr. Clark!!! Here are reminders of what I thought after I completed my first, second, third, and fourth semesters.
This semester was challenging for me and not solely because of this doctoral program. This semester brought about the following firsts:
- Teaching an online social justice course
- My daughter started Kindergarten/getting roped into being the Head Room Parent
- Weekend leading and teaching synchronous online classes
- Poster Presentation in/Trip to Denver, Colorado
- Group research project that I brought my whole authentic self to
Rather than share my top 3 takeaways from the semester, I want to share my top 5 tweets. These tweets summed up my whole semester, personally and professionally.

This song is legit the theme song of my #BecomingDrClark journey. And now I know why I cried multiple times in the theater. #Frozen2 #IntoTheUnknown

I’m so excited to see what next semester brings. I learn more and more about myself as each semester passes.
