My research is a work in progress. This paper discusses the potential project that will utilize narrative inquiry to learn about the lived experiences of adults over the age of 45 who have made the decision to re-enter a high school program to complete grade 12. I review the literature surrounding adult learning and early exits from high school. Transformative learning theory and reflective inquiry are also mentioned as possible theories in the understanding of the data that will be collected and as a means to extend thinking about ethics that ultimately will impact the research process.
