D’Lauren Oxidine,

As a future doctor of education, one would assume that success would be highly attainable. However, because of my age, gender and race my level of success is different from my older male and female counterparts of different races. Knowing this means treating my entire doctoral experience as an unofficial 3 year interview where achieving anything less than a level of excellence can be detrimental to a career that I have yet to pursue.
