KEToday I passed my final dissertation defense and earned the title Dr. Kevaughn Burney.
What makes it more meaningful is everything surrounding this moment. Today is my late mother’s birthday. Years ago, she drove me around on college tours as a freshman, taking me from campus to campus with one clear expectation that I would pursue an education and build something greater for myself.
Nine years ago, while I was on this same assignment as a Drill Instructor, she passed away. She never had the chance to see this moment, but the vision she planted in me never left.
So today, on her birthday, that vision came full circle. I’ve reached heights in academia that even I didn’t think was possible.
This moment belongs to God and her just as much as it belongs to me.
