She was working on a paper, but progress was slow, and in March Momenafailed to turn in a draft on the date promised. Her advisor Dr.Ali assumed that more structure was needed, so she began to set very explicit expectations for products with specific deadlines attached. During their meetings, Momenawas enthusiastic about her projects and eagerly promised to get the work done. However, the pattern of failing to deliver kept repeating itself. Finally, after an extended stretch when Momenawas absent from the organization and had missed a deadline for a draft, Dr.Ali called her in to ask if she was serious about her work. Momenateared up and revealed that her mother was seriously ill, and she had been driving the three hours back home every weekend for the last several months to help her family.

She asked Dr.Ali if she should withdraw from the program.
