3. Individual reflection on skills and lessons learned. What skills, morals

and lessons were learned from this project? How did they help you grow
as an individual? ((INDIVIDUAL))
During the course of event of this activity, I, as the team member learned a number
of thing about work together in a team. I learned a few strengths and potential
weakness of myself during this activity. One of the things I learnt is working in a
group will gain a variety of ideas which we need to select suggested by our group
members. Then, we have to provide justifications for the selection or rejection for
any idea of all members of the group. I found it really hard to satisfy all the
members about choices we make and options that are rejected. From the decision of
which community organization to work with, to the decision of location to carry out
the activity, we all had a lot of ideas and everyone was of the view that his/her idea
is the most suitable.
Besides that, I learned to analyze the options and choose the viable one, something
which is called brainstorming. When making certain choices in a group, I must
always prioritize the goal of our group in order to benefit our project. Next, I also
learn how conflicts arise, how they can sabotage the group performance and how
they should be sabotage the group performance and how they should be resolved to
make people stay involved and committed to the activity.
Other than that, I also learnt that one needs to have accountability in order to lead
a team well. The team leader is always responsible to ensure everything is
progressing well and on schedule. This includes from meeting sessions to activities
planning and execution. Another key learning I obtained is time management. It is
tough to gather all the team members for discussions due to time clashes or
distance problem. I learn to make full use of each discussion session for
brainstorming and task allocation, where we need all the team members to
participate.
Apart from the above mentioned key learning, I feel grateful to be able to take part
in such a meaningful activity. I feel happy that I am able to contribute my creativity
and innovations during the brainstorming session on the performances and
activities for this project. At the end of the project, the soft skills that I have learnt
also improve me as an individual who is preparing to face the challenges in the
tough world we live in.

4. Personal future development. Description of what future development

is required to enhance your responsibility and growth as a person.
((INDIVIDUAL))
By participating in this event, I realize that social development is imperative. I
discovered that I am lack of soft skills in relation to other people. The importance of
these skills in workplace is significant, and is a must to acquire this skill in order to
function well in the workplace. The improvement of communication with other
people is my goal. I will change how I interact with people by allocating more time
for the communication with others. In order to achieve this skill, I will involve myself
in elective post as a representative of our college societies. Acquiring this
leadership position is important for my development of leadership skills. The
acquisition of this post will also help me improve in my communication skills when I
had to interact with others. For example, gathering ideas to solve problems of the
society. It will lead me to become more responsible and caring person due to having
other responsibilities towards the society beside studies.
By joining the societies in the college, it provides me an extra-curricular activity and
a social group outside of classroom will enable me to deal with stress more
effectively. It will also allow me to relax actively and to live a more productive life.
Besides that, I have learned that we can apply the knowledge we gained in the
classroom in real life by joining the activities of these societies. Also, I have learned
that time management is the most critical tool towards achieving personal goals not
only in education , but also in the other aspects of life. I have realized that the
increase in my overall academic goals, as well as extracurricular activities, is a
result of proper time management, and the ability to work with strict time
schedules. Lastly, I have learned that education required to coordination of activities
between personal efforts and the teamwork. I have observed that I perform better
when I participate in class activities, work in groups and challenge each other. This
is important for future researches and scholars like me because at least, I am able
to express ideas and ideologies to a number of people, and the challenges they
pose.
In order to enhance my responsibility and growth as a person, I will learn ways to
increase my self- esteem and confidence. This is important as it is a fundamental
factor at the core of this broad and significant pursuit. Widening ones selfawareness will leads to discovering new potential in you. When a persons circle of
self-awareness increases, he or she consciously explores a greater hidden potential,

but also the limits too. This will widen the area of future discovery and further
development within you in order to become a better person.
Lastly, I also realized the importance of soft skills. A persons soft skill or EQ is an
important part of their individual contribution to the success of an organization thus
it is imperative for me to learn. Particularly those business organization dealing with
customers face to face often in the service industry. Screening or training for
personal habits or traits such a dependability and conscientiousness can yield
significant benefits. For this reason, soft skills are increasingly sought out by
employers in addition to standard qualifications. Thus, soft skills are not only a need
but a must to equip with.
