Future Directions
What's next?

Stands in front of me an infinite sky of possibilities. Whichever direction I choose to go and whatever path I choose to take, I know I will always continue to learn and grow and reflect. The MET was a particularly powerful chapter in the bigger book of my life. I will continue writing this story and reflecting on the successes, the failures, and everything in between. 
Realizing the many doors this degree opens for me, I am very excited to explore the next chapter. I could choose to get OCT certification and go back to teaching in the classroom, or embrace a career as an LXD, or use my knowledge and skills to be an independent educational content producer, or even go the entrepreneurial route and work on my own educational technology startup. Whatever it is, I believe my work in the MET program has prepared me to venture into it.  Whatever it is, my main goal will be to preserve my values and apply my philosophy of learning. 
Regarding my reflection practices, I would like to delve a little into a meta-reflection thinking process and evaluate my reflection practices now that I have (almost) completed making this e-portfolio. I honestly have never reflected this much on anything in my life. This was truly a very invigorating experience. The very first thing I learned is that I need to stop and reflect more often on all sorts of experiences in my life. I need to clearly understand how each experience changes me and how I feel about every detail. Also, I need to pay equal attention to both the failures and successes, as true, critical, and positive transformation happens as a result of both. I constantly need to ask myself questions such as 'why' and 'how' and to consider recording those valuable monologues. I can't help but think about the wealth of reflections I would have had by now had I written down or verbally recorded some of the afterthoughts and retrospective notions that have crossed my mind and analyzed them critically. This will definitely be a practice I commit to from now on.
