So my journey, albeit temporary stalled due to family obligations due to the onset of the COVID19 pandemic, began sometime in August 2021 when I began making enquiries into the availability of courses left/pending completion, before I could complete my study into Educational Leadership and receive my Ed.D.

After much stress and delayed response, I was finally advised on Sept 08, 2021 that the 1 course available for me was EDRS8910- Designing Quantitative Research Projects. Admittedly, this was the ONE course I dreaded in the long list of courses that I had to complete in the EdD programme.

My fear for numbers stemmed from being scarred from embarrassing childhood school experiences where teachers shamed me because of the slow pace I understood numbers and anything that was numbers related. This filled me with a dread that rarely surfaced, but which reared his head when I got an email from my Programme Coordinator notifying me that I was 'administratively registered' for EDRS8910.

With a deep sense of disgust, fear and a drop of excitement, I responded and positively acknowledged the email. In turn, on September 22, I informed the lecturer, that I had a late start and was eager (more like dreaded) to begin my quantitative studies.
