When friends, students, working colleagues, and family ask me about my ‘thesis’, I explain that this degree is more than writing a piece of paper. It is rather a long term project where you monitor your progress. It mentally challenges you. People also ask me why I took the decision to do this. Reasons are various. And mine is, in the first place, self-realization. Have a look at my milestones:

• currently: Writing the Research Proposal to be handed in soon
• 07.2017: The topic Outline (Research Outline) got approved from the University
• 03.2017: Finally found a topic I am interested in, and is viable for the programme
