My feeling of apprehension at the beginning of this subject has subsided and I am now feeling a sense of accomplishment and joy. Something that seemed so out of reach at the beginning, slowly, step by step, has come together. As mentioned before, the more I read the more time I wanted to invest and investigate.
Having an understanding of research, the purpose and the processes that go with it has given me the tools for future endeavours within my own community as well as sense of appreciation for research.
