"If a seed of a lettuce will not grow, we do not blame the lettuce. Instead, the fault lies with us for not having nourished the seed properly." - Buddhist proverb
The end is finally in sight! The last two years that I have spent in the Education Graduate Program at WSCU are coming to an end. I am currently working on the last leg of my action research paper, and trying to make sense of everything that I have experienced during the last ten months. I printed out my first rough draft two days ago, and it has been glued to my hands ever since. It is funny what changes I have made since seeing it in print. It turns out, the computer may distort my view of my writing; once I see it on paper, I can actually edit and make necessary adjustments. Not only have I spent countless times editing and improving the words that I have written down, but I have spent a lot of time on EXCEL! For the past two weeks I have poured over my paper developing my discussion, then doing some deleting, re-developing my graphs, then making changes. Every graph that I have to display the portrayal of my data, undergoes this process. I think I finally have what I am looking for.
So, It has been 27 weeks since I began this process and honestly, I have learned more in the past few weeks than I have learned in the past few months. Today, I made a chart that did not involve a graph at all.....it was wonderful. I found out that 80% of the days he had a serious behavior incident there were more than 5 changes to his regular daily routine. 86% of the days he had a serious behavior incident he reported a negative feeling during his self-reflection time. 80% of the days that he had a serious behavior incident he did not meet all of his points goals. 83% of the days that he met all three of his points goals he reported feeling happy during the morning.
