Here is the fruit of my labor for the past two years. I have been contemplating what this all means and have determined that for me it represents courage -- the courage to step into the unknown and into a world I didn't think I belonged. I still feel inadequate to be in the academic world, which is why a Doctorate is probably not on my horizon. But this is concrete evidence that I entered that world and succeeded. I now feel justified to teach what I teach.
