24.09.22 ~ September Update

Starting with the positives, I officially confirmed my candidature and I am now officially eligible to upgrade to a PhD. The feedback received on my candidature proposal was positive and invaluable to moving forward with my research. I have received my final lot of edits to complete my umbrella review and should be submitting it for critical review within the next week. Moving into October the focus is on finalising the questions for my survey study, completing the ethics applications for review and creating the marketing materials to distribute to the public.

Unfortunately, there are some negatives. I am starting to understand why people say a research degree is a time of personal growth and self-reflection. The trials and tribulations that occur during background research, the creating of systematic processes, navigating ethics applications and recruiting participants before you even think about conducting a your study, let alone writing a manuscript for publication is an overwhelming thought. Then you have the greatest pressure, TIME, limited time to complete all of the above and write a thesis document.

Now, I am about to get personal. I started my research journey after a traumatic injury that occurred at work. This injury threw my entire life of course, but I also look back now and realise that it put me on my destined path. I have struggled through a major depressive episode related to the injury, continuing anxiety and residual PTSD. I had a relationship breakdown, moved back to the Sunshine Coast and have been fighting to get my life back on track for the past six months. This has all occurred within the past 12 months and whilst my step-dad has also been receiving treatment for terminal pancreatic and bowel cancer. Our family just lost two furry family members this month and this continual series of unfortunate events has greatly impacted my ability to get through the workload of my master's.

However, I am extremely lucky, my support network is unbeatable between my close knit family, supporting supervisors and encouraging university. I am slowly, making my way through the tasks, whilst still struggling from depression and anxiety, aiming to keep my head above water. This blog was created to share my journey and self-reflect on my experiences. I hope this post finds the people it is intended for, that even if you are not completing a research degree or studying that you can resinate with the journey in some aspect and I hope it brings you comfort in the fact you are not alone.

ok they said they would send me the prompt sometime today but did not specify when so i am still in PREPARE FOR ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING mode. i finished the first-gen programming book on the plane. there were a handful of very good case studies in there & a few ideas i would love to try implementing, but i feel like those edited collections with a million contributors are inevitably a little uneven and can get a bit repetitive by the end. on the whole though i’m glad i read it and i collected a handful of sources from the bibliography that i’m going to follow up on next.

one of the last case studies in the book was about career services and i found it really interesting... the writers were pointing out that university career services tend to focus a lot on the process of finding a job (resume and cover letter writing, navigating linkedin and job boards, interviewing, etc.) but most institutions don’t do a ton of work on teaching students career management skills - like, how to read a job posting to determine if it’s going to get you where you want to be, or how to proactively identify and develop specific skills in a role even if it’s not your dream job, or how to go back on the job market and find a better match for you if a job doesn’t seem to be aligned with your long-term goals, etc etc. i definitely notice this a lot in my first-gen kids who i do post-grad career support stuff with. like, the jobs they choose to apply to often confuse me because they don’t seem like a good fit for what the student is actually interested in doing, or they’ll stay in a job that isn’t a good fit for too long because they’re unsure about how to make the transition.

we did some work on this in my program -- i had this career trajectory mapping activity where they had to research organizations in their areas of interest, then find a high- or medium-ranking employee there in a leadership position they might interested in doing later in their careers, and then we had this in-class activity where we used people’s linked in profiles to trace their path from college to grad school (if relevant) through the early stages of their career. we made these big maps on the board where we wrote down the job titles the person had held, the way they described their responsibilities in each role, the amount of time they spent at each, the amount of time between promotions, and whether their experience was concentrated in one organization/program or not (and if they moved around if it was laterally within a company or to a new organization). we did a handful of these together in class and then as part of their research portfolios that semester they had to create more maps, one of which had to be for a person they’d set up an informational interview with (so they could use the map to ask more detailed questions about people’s trajectories and get insight into how professionals further along in their careers made decisions about what jobs to take, when to leave, etc.).

ANYWAY i think i could do a LOT more thinking/brainstorming around how to integrate those skills in managing your own career into different curricula... just something i’d be interested in returning to. ooh and also i learned about the National Association of Colleges and Employers’ Career Readiness Competencies which i think will be a useful framework if i need to talk about prof dev at any point during the visit.

⏰ 🚨 attention please🙏🚨

I am Dr. Mohammed Aldeeb,🩸💉 a dedicated specialist in emergency medical care from the Gaza Strip.

💊 🩺🩹

For years, I poured my heart and soul into my work at Al-Shifa Hospital, striving to be a doctor of great repute,

caring for the wounded and the ill with compassion and skill.💉🩹

However😥,

the devastation of war disrupted our lives and prevented us from serving our patients at Al-Shifa Hospital😣💔,

forcing me to leave my cherished home and the familiar walls of the hospital that had become my second home, a place of comfort, peace, and beautiful memories of my work.😔

As I left behind the echoes of laughter and camaraderie with my colleagues, patients, and friends,😰

I embarked on a painful journey southward. I bid farewell to the streets where I grew up, the corners I sought refuge in😥😭💔, and the colleagues who felt like family.

Memories of my formative years and the countless lives I touched during my tenure at Al-Shifa 😣and other medical facilities, such as Friends of the Patient Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital, overwhelmed me as I struggled to come to terms with the upheaval.😔😥

Despite the adversities that besieged me,

I held fast to my dream of becoming a successful doctor. 😀😁✌💚

I was fortunate enough to study medicine at Al-Azhar University, from which I graduated and later served as a teaching assistant, imparting knowledge to aspiring medical students with unwavering dedication. 😀🙏🖤

The idea of specializing in internal medicine drew me back to Al-Shifa Hospital, but sadly,

the brutal war destroyed it, shattering my hopes.In the midst of the chaos and destruction brought by war🥺😣💔

I sustained multiple injuries and narrowly escaped with my life. 🥺

The sanctuary of my home, a place of peace and beautiful memories, was completely destroyed, leaving my family and me impoverished and homeless. 😣💔😰

Yet, amidst the ruins, a glimmer of hope persists as I continue my work at Al-Aqsa Hospital😀, extending a helping hand to those in need without expecting anything in return. I draw strength from the humanity and love instilled in me by my teachers and mentors during my years of education and service.✌😁❤

Today, we find ourselves taking refuge in a humble tent, ⛺ 😭😣💔

stripped of our possessions and livelihoods. The loss of my job, my home, and some of my loved ones is a heavy burden to bear. 😢

Nevertheless, I refuse to succumb to despair, holding on to the belief that brighter days lie ahead.

With a heavy heart, I reach out to you🥺🙏💚

dear reader, seeking your assistance in securing safe passage for myself and my family from the chaos and brutality of war in Gaza. 🥺🙏🇵🇸🍉💔🖤💛💝

With your kindness and generosity🥺, I hope to reclaim the path to achieving my medical career, 🩺💉🩸

becoming a specialist in internal medicine, and returning to help my people.

This would enable me to provide care for my loved ones and contribute to the healing of our wounded nation.Your compassionate aid would mean the world to me and my family.🥺🙏❤🇵🇸✌

US visa application Kenya

Kenyan citizens applying for a US visa must complete the online DS-160 form and schedule an interview at the US Embassy in Nairobi. The process involves paying the application fee, providing supporting documents such as passport, photograph, and evidence of ties to Kenya, and attending the visa interview. Applicants may need to demonstrate strong ties to their home country and intent to return after their US visit. Processing times can vary, so early application is recommended, especially for time-sensitive travel. More info: https://toppicksreviews.com

Optimal Working Hours for Students in Australia in 2024: Balancing Academics and Employment

Balancing academics and employment is crucial for students in Australia, especially with rising living costs. While international students on student visas can only work a maximum of 48 hours per fortnight during semesters, excessive working hours can negatively impact academic performance and well-being. It's essential for students to manage their time effectively to avoid burnout and maintain their grades.
