Part of my process of becoming a psychologist involved designing and completing some research exploring some form of psychological phenomenon. It was something I dreaded but eventually came to have a lot of fun with, and in the end it was a very positive part of my experience in graduate school. Today I had to "defend" my dissertation to all the psychologists who oversaw the process, sharing my results and ensuring I understood what I had been doing this whole time.

I got dressed up to present the final defense of my dissertation. |

Your mom has been an enormous support throughout all of this. |
