To some, it might look like a lack of faith on my part, to others like a pragmatic and rather realistic assessment of my situation. The truth is probably somewhere in the middle.<br \/>\nLet&#8217;s imagine, I produce a quality paper. So what? Mid-program I have made a decision to steer clear of the education system because I do not believe we are suitable for each other. Therefore, it is unlikely for this paper to become a stepping stone towards something greater. This brings me to another important question. Who cares? It is unlikely that many people will because I am not an instructor now and I will not be a part of the education system after I graduate. I will return to counselling. If I end up working for a non-profit, perhaps, a program manager or a co-worker might be curious. If I end up working for myself, my clients are unlikely to see my paper or even benefit from it. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t see much of a sense in disseminating it.<br \/>\nWhat is the point of doing this research project then? For others, it might turn out to be none at all and I am fine with that. I will be doing it for myself, for the skills acquired in the process and for a sense of accomplishment at the end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is difficult for me to imagine that in the process of doing this research project, I will discover something of significant importance.
