Week 3 Reflection

Extending the learning's of our Action Research, this week I have learned something extremely valuable. Action research is not a sprint, it a marathon. I compare this easily to painting ones home. The excitement is there in the beginning about the realm of possibilities. However, once you begin, you realize, this will may have actually been something better left alone. End the end though, the rewards far outweigh the hardships. I see these two examples as very similar. My project is an exciting one. Looking at all the means to get to the final endpoint though is daunting. I believe the statement of enjoying the journey is never more apparent. I look forward to continued research now that a solid foundation has been put in place. This foundation covers not only the research itself, but the means to transfer this knowledge to others.
