  1. MA Ed – My Journeyby Catherine Sykes

  2. Stages of the Hero's Journey • There are twelve steps to the hero’s journey those steps are as follows:- • Ordinary World: This step refers to the hero's normal life at the start of the story, before the adventure begins.  • Call to Adventure: The hero is faced with something that makes him begin his adventure. This might be a problem or a challenge he needs to overcome.  • Refusal of the Call: The hero attempts to refuse the adventure because he is afraid.  • Meeting with the Mentor: The hero encounters someone who can give him advice and ready him for the journey ahead.   • Crossing the First Threshold: The hero leaves his ordinary world for the first time and crosses the threshold into adventure.   • Tests, Allies, Enemies: The hero learns the rules of his new world. During this time, he endures tests of strength of will, meets friends, and comes face to face with foes. • Approach: Setbacks occur, sometimes causing the hero to try a new approach or adopt new ideas.  • Ordeal: The hero experiences a major hurdle or obstacle, such as a life or death crisis.  • Reward: After surviving death, the hero earns his reward or accomplishes his goal.  • The Road Back: The hero begins his journey back to his ordinary life. • Resurrection Hero - The hero faces a final test where everything is at stake and he must use everything he has learned.   • Return with Elixir:  The hero brings his knowledge or the "elixir" back to the ordinary world, where he applies it to help all who remain there.

  15. In summary ……….My advice • Do what you WANT(and are interested in) not what you NEED • Make sure work (if appropriate) and University compliment each other • Work at your own pace • Communicate – tutors, family, work colleagues, • Don’t be afraid to ask for help / advice • Take advantage of all support offered – Independent studies workshop / networking with like minded students • Be clear about what you need to do / what is expected for each module / IS etc • Ensure your Ethics proposal is submitted ( I didn’t realise that needed to be done and a misunderstanding between myself and tutor left me halfway through IS before Ethics proposal was submitted • Set realistic targets / deadlines • Keep ‘Masters’ in perspective to life • Visit the Library – may seem silly but it wasn’t until my 3rd year that I actually spent time in there other than looking for books – Great working atmosphere • ENJOY • Go to Graduation – there were so many students who didn’t - why wouldn’t you want to celebrate and share your success • Use your student card to get discounts when shopping!!!!
