4. Identification of future learning opportunities * Reflect on how the insights you gained from creating this Reflection Paper might affect the way you view your

actions and thoughts in the future.

Your response should be at least 400 words in length and use APA format (to include a title and reference page). No abstract is necessary. All sources used must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
