So here we are at the end... and the beginning!
It seems like only yesterday when I began this journey through the MAPP DTP, and here we are having almost reached a conclusion. The final written submission has just gone in, and its just finals next week for presentation and viva.
How do I feel??!!!
Relief? - Yes, it hasn't been an easy road for a number of reasons and a weight will certainly be lifted, I will be able to watch Netflix without regret that I should be studying!
Proud? - Definitely. I wasn't sure that I could complete this, and no matter the outcome, I am incredibly proud of myself for staying the course and achieving what I have?
Sad? - Yes a little. In some ways I have only just got my head around this research thingy, sorted my philosophy from my methodology and epistemological from my ethnographic! I'm a little sorry to leave it behind now! Ive also made some lifelong friends (Yep the other parts of the 3 musketeers... you know who you are) without whom I never would have made it this far and who have inspired me throughout
Changed? - Absolutely. My goal at the start of this process was to finish it! I had little thought for the learning that would take place, and even less for the change it would make to my practice. Ive learnt so much about myself that I couldn't fail to be changed and my whole professional practice has a new lease of life which resonates onto my students
Excited? - I sure am. I cant wait to see where this journey takes me next! I thought that my path was set, but now the ball is rolling I don't want it to stop! I uncovered so many interesting things during my inquiry that I need to know more, and see how it is applied
So its the end... and the beginning.... where will it end.....who knows!!!!
