life – having babies, caring for aging
or widowed parents, getting promoted,
changing jobs. The bottom line is life
doesn’t stop because you are working
on a Ph.D. It won’t be perfect, but you
can/will make it work!

Amezcua: I completely agree with
everything that has been stated. I have
presented on this topic a couple of
times, and the timing issue seems to
be a big concern. The main pieces of
advice that I have received and share
that are most helpful are these: (1) Plan
ahead: The best way to address the
timing issue is to create a plan for how
you will accomplish your goal. I knew
that preparing for and taking the LSAT
and then applying to the law school
could take up to a year, so I had to get
going. While I was doing that, I also
had time to figure out how I would

manage my time, prepare my family,
and figure out my finances; (2) Plan
purposefully: Along with researching
potential programs and knowing what
it will take to get admitted, building
the motivation to take on this new
challenge is critical. People should ask
themselves how this degree will help
them accomplish their long-term goal,
how it will connect with their passions,
and how it will improve their lives;
and (3) Commit and don’t quit!
This is a phrase that resonated with
me, and I think it speaks to the
life adjustments that both Doug and
Virginia mentioned. You should go
into this with a mindset that you are
going to see it through to the end, no
matter what.

a few more thoughts. I would say it
is important to have a support team
that stands behind you throughout
the process. The support team
ranges from classmates, supervisor,
family, colleagues, advisor, etc. My
program was a cohort program, and
14 of us completed the coursework
together. We were there to support
each other along the way. Beyond the
coursework in the dissertation phase,
it was extremely important to have the
support of my supervisor. This was
vital during the time I was collecting
data. Family, colleagues, advisors, and
other entities are important during
those down moments or when the
challenges of life lead you to question
your journey.
It is also important to recognize
