"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The next best time is now." --Chinese Proverb
My name is Sherri Stepp and I am a doctoral student in Leadership Studies at Marshall University. My area of emphasis is Curriculum & Instruction. This electronic portfolio, my reflection paper, and successful presentation and defense will satisfy the residency requirement for the Doctor of Education and will result in admission to candidacy and the beginning of my dissertation.
As the Chinese Proverb suggests, twenty years ago may have been the best time for me to take on the challenge of a doctoral program; however, I believe opportunities present themselves when the time is right for me. My entire career has been devoted to serving students in higher education. The doctoral program is providing the opportunity to gain knowledge that will enhance my life experience and help me better serve students.
