#MondayMemories Serendipity

I cannot recall if I was simply scheduled in electronics or as a connection center associate on this particular day, but a young lady approached the counter interested in upgrading her contract phone. During the process, I typically chatted with customers since the system could take a few moments to connect to the main servers. This particular young lady had been teaching English as an adjunct instructor after receiving her Master’s degree, and she was in the process of applying to a PhD program. I told her that I had earned my Bachelor’s degree in English and never could decide on becoming a professor. She was quite encouraging and supportive, and this chance encounter inspired me to research online programs with a reputable background. Within a couple of months of this serendipitous meeting, I applied and gained acceptance to Tiffin University. Here I am over three years later enjoying my career as an adjunct English professor with aspirations to earn a PhD and become a full-time professor!
