Welcome to my ePortfolio:
Upon reflection I realized that the metaphor that best describes my experience in the MET program is the water wave. In order to understand this metaphor I will describe the basics behind how a wave is created. The water in a wave does not generally move, but instead acts as a flexible medium through which energy can transfer. There are many sources for this initial energy with wind being the most common. In my metaphor I am the water, which is allowing the energy/knowledge to transfer through me. Before the MET the water was calm with only small capillary waves, which are small ripples in the water. The MET courses represents the different sources of energy that created different kinds of waves from wind, seiche, seismic, to tidal waves. In my ePortfolio I will explain each of these types of waves, and why these courses represent that wave. The last part of my metaphor is the shoreline that the waves will eventually hit, which represents my future and the obstacles I will face. Overtime the different waves will have an impact on reshaping this shoreline just as the MET program will reshape my future. |
