[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Persistence. [/quote] Persistence and the willingness to prioritize the program over health and family. Which is why I'm ABD. There were several divorces in my program each year. A couple people hospitalized for stress or exhaustion. Several miscarriages. I missed pretty much every first for my oldest child and skipped a funeral. It was ridiculous. I've never quit anything else in my life. Proud I got as far as I did, but proud I saved my sanity and family when I left.[/quote]
