I know I'm supposed to be most excited about finishing my PhD so I can "finally start my career", but I am already doing what I love - research that can help change important institutions, teaching at a great university, and working with people who are struggling to overcome past trauma and current challenges. It's incredible to get to ask limitless questions and get rewarded (and even paid!) for it. I suppose I have to eventually stop being a student, but I will never stop learning.
