Great times, great people, and great families.

Casual fun! We caught up about jobs, thesis recognition, promotions, moving states for jobs, graduation ceremonies, continuation to Ph.D. programs, how long it took to finish the thesis, and updates on kids, family, parents, and pets (yes, they matter too!), surgeries, and saw new home furnishings. We ate, shared, laughed, and talked about "real life" stories.😊

What's Your Motivation? Your Why?

Congrats Jason, on being named our a-MAZE-ing Spring 2020 "Stellar Student" Award winner! 🎉  Jason took 5 weeks, from choosing a topic, writing his thesis paper, and receiving all 3 committee member approvals to graduate! His motivation: an 11-month-old baby boy that needed “Daddy” as an incentive to finish! His secret? He used our workshop system. Jason breezed through each content section with our color-coded Thesis Writing Template—a Paper Type 2. He also used the ​6-week timeline checklist—from January to February 2020. Bravo! 🙌🏻

Paper topic: Direct-to-consumer genetics.

Raymond Hsu

Raymond was told he had a "term paper," not a thesis. After joining the Workshop, the same committee recommended his thesis be sent to a publisher for a book. Super job! 🌟

Raymond Hsu-Image 012321 Cerritos CA.png

When Raymond joined our Workshop, he was told he had a “term paper” and not a “thesis paper.” He could not get committee approval and our workshop was recommended. 

> Raymond joined the workshop—used our training system, came online to the Virtual Classroom (which is now the metaverse!), used 1:1 time when he needed expert thesis help, and lastly, used a professional editor to polish his thesis. Raymond's committee chair was so impressed with his topic, he offered to help him publish his thesis in book format because it was so well written! 🌟 Congrats Raymond! Bravo!
