What do you believe you will benefit from the program at this stage of your career? How would you like to see your career develop over the next 5 years? What are your career objectives? From a young age, I was drawn to education. I began studying in this field but had to put my academic journey on hold to pursue professional opportunities and start a family. One of my biggest regrets is not completing my initial degree, despite being so close. However, life has a way of guiding us back to where we belong. For most of my career, I have worked in education, training, and community service—where I feel most alive. When the opportunity arose to study with the Asian College of Teachers and the European International University, it felt like divine providence. I couldn’t wait to get back to learning, refining my skills, and expanding my knowledge. Initially, I focused on the Senior and FET phases, but this time, my studies introduced me to Special Educational Needs, Foundation, Intermediate, and Senior phases. This broadened my perspective and deepened my understanding of the diverse needs of learners. It also brought back memories of my own schooling, making me reflect on my early experiences and the changes in education over the years. I recognized mistakes I had made both as a student and later as a teacher. These reflections reinforced my belief in the power of quality training, strong guidance, and the importance of learning from those who genuinely care. For me, education is not just a career, it is a calling. It is my way of serving others, particularly the youth, who are often the most vulnerable and overlooked in society. I have always believed that my purpose extends beyond simply working, earning a living, and retiring. I am here to serve my Creator by serving the people entrusted to me. This program has reignited my vision and strengthened my passion for lifelong learning. It has reminded me that true education is not just about acquiring knowledge but about wisdom, purpose, and service. As a teacher and facilitator, I see myself as a guide, helping others navigate their own journeys of discovery. The wisdom and experiences passed down to me through school, university, and life itself are gifts I am eager to share. Over the next five years, I want to deepen my impact in education. With this qualification, I will be better equipped to serve my community, inspire curious minds, and lead others in their pursuit of excellence. More importantly, I will honor my Creator by fulfilling the purpose I have always felt so strongly—helping others find meaning, knowledge, and enlightenment in their own lives.

Feedback Statement – Thesis Journey I am deeply grateful to ACT and EIU for giving me an opportunity I never would have had otherwise. Your support made it possible for me to pursue and complete something I once thought was beyond my reach. This has been the most challenging part of my academic journey—completing a PhD thesis of this magnitude, especially on a topic like burnout that sometimes overwhelmed me in the very process of writing about it. I shed many tears. I often felt out of my depth, even incompetent at times. But I persevered. There were moments I didn’t know how I would finish—but I did. I am immensely proud of what I’ve accomplished. This research is not only groundbreaking, it is a reflection of resilience, commitment, and growth. I pulled it off—and I stand taller because of it.
