Reflection: Action research continues move me out of my comfort zone, by getting me to collaborate with my peers. I usually sit quietly in the back of meetings and do not express my thoughts or feelings (unless asked). I am now growing in this skill and I feel that it is because of this class especially. The class asked me to collaborate and teach my findings to my peers here at school, a tough task for me to do, but I did it and I succeeded.
