Personal Learning Paper (PLP-3)

By Gayatri Kapoor Roll No- H21079

About the session
The session began with discussing a few people's experiences on listing down their daily
activities and bifurcating the same as an action or a reaction and how it impacted them,
instilled change in their behavior, and compelled them to implement those changes in their
lives. Further, we moved on to discussing the personal learning papers submitted by
students. Many students volunteered to share their PLPs with the class. The students
discussed their PLPs, and Mr. MG Jomon gave constructive feedback on how they could
improve their PLPs for the better.
What I learned from the session
I was surprised and pleased to see the submissions of my classmates. From poems to stories
to personal experiences beautifully penned down on pieces of paper were spurting bouts of
creativity. As much as I was in awe of what was being discussed right before my eyes, I was
slightly intimidated and loathing in self-doubt. All sorts of questions were coming up in my
head. I the only one getting it all wrong? How did I land up amidst these exceptionally
talented individuals with a knack to communicate what they felt in such an engaging way?
However, I did not let all these thoughts take over me. Instead, I tried to figure out how I can
learn from them. It made me reflect on what I had written as part of my PLP. As I dwelled
on what I could improve, I realized to show an improvement; it is essential to identify what
you have learned. I realized it was more important to focus on what you learned from each
session, which I couldn’t in its entirety in the previous PLPs.
Further, expressing what you have learned in the session requires an individual to be more
expressive and transparent with your thoughts. Communication is the key, and to achieve
that, one needs to have a robust command of the language so that it does not act as a barrier
in communicating one’s ideas enables one to express oneself articulately. To be clear in
sharing the story you want to tell through your writing. However, just being able to convey
what you learned is not enough. To be able to adapt those learning and implement them in
your behavior is the real challenge. Thus I decided on how I can further improve on my
ability to express my thoughts and opinions.
How I plan to achieve what I learned
Basis what I learned in the session, I believe it is essential to be more transparent with your
thoughts and ideas. It is necessary to recognize your feelings and opinions and have open
communication to be your honest and authentic self. Further, I aim to relate to what I learn
with my own life and reflect on my daily behavior. Additionally, it is crucial to have
individuality and always be your authentic self and ensure the same images in your attitude
and behavior.
