Hello everyone,
After completing this much-anticipated project, it’s time to reflect on the journey and the work accomplished along the way.
Driving Question: How do you set yourself up to become the person you want to be?
The learning journey I embarked on not only facilitated personal growth but also provided insights into my future aspirations. These everyday skills are crucial in navigating the professional landscape. Let’s delve into the skills I’ve acquired!
Stress Management:
Managing stress is a skill everyone needs. During this project’s intense phases, I discovered what helps me stay calm and prevent stress. Deep breathing, reflection, and maintaining composure have become my go-to strategies. Recognizing that stress is a natural part of life and drawing from past experiences has boosted my confidence in handling pressure.
Self-awareness and Aspirations:
Before this project, I had a vague sense of my career path. However, the journey revealed my inclination towards entrepreneurship, possibly in the technology sector. My parents, who inspire and motivate me, played a significant role in this realization. Understanding my identity and goals has become clearer through this reflective process.
Path to Success:
Success requires hard work and determination. To enter the technology industry, I understand the need for skills and evidence of my capabilities. Creating side projects and showcasing my abilities are essential steps. Many institutions and employers value practical experience and tangible results. Undertaking projects allows me to demonstrate my skills and commitment to growth.
Pitching Strategy:
During pitch preparation, I opted for spontaneity over a rigid script. This allowed me to maintain engagement by making eye contact, maintaining a natural flow, and incorporating past experiences on the spot. Practice played a pivotal role in building confidence and interactivity with the audience.
Future Plans:
I’ve learned that planning every detail for the future isn’t necessary. Taking incremental steps and focusing on daily improvement are my priorities. Setting clear, achievable goals that enhance personal growth, such as fitness or dietary changes, is what I aim for.
During this project I also completed several pieces of work to bring all these strength together. I made a cover letter and resume and made multiple goals for myself. Click on these links to find them.
