Emails back and forth

Questions asked and answered

Once the decision was officially made

Date chosen

The only thing left over was

The countdown

T-Minus 4 days

The clock ticks down

To the rocket blasting off

Towards my last educational moon

I, Olga Pinsky

Am finally starting

My doctorate on

January 31st, 2017

For 2 years

I put my dreams into invisible storage

Because of the illness

ME

Left me with nothing

Not even hope for the future

For the last nearly 1.5 years

I've been recovering

Just biding my time

Until I could finally

Make it official

And start inevitably

The countdown

To the day I begin

Working hard for my dreams

To come true

I have my ID

My new email address

Even the name of my first class

Psychology to Leadership

University of the Rockies

Today I printed out a 16 page syllabus

There's still so many factors in play

And not get overwhelmed

But nothing will deter me from my now

Very attainable goal

The countdown has started

And I look forward to every single

Adventure

Stress

Illness

Doubt

Are no longer welcome in my life

In 3 years

I hope to be

Dr. Olga Pinsky

Or

Olga Pinsky, PhD

Both sound amazing

And that's where I am headed

I am blessed that

G-d and my angels saved me

And I continue to say

Never ever give up

Hope

Faith

Peace

We will win

Just a step at a time
