Weaknesses:
If I had spent more time on researching our topic, I believe it would have
been easier to plan and schedule our execution of the project and we
would have been done with most of it by now. I took an off from school
the day we had planned to conduct the interviews, which is why we
could not conduct them on time. I also believe if I had spent more time
working on the schedule and would have tried contacting more
organisations, instead of waiting for the first one to respond, we would
have been done with most of the part of our project by now. Adding on,
If I invested a tad more effort into getting more people to fill our survey,
we would have gotten more responses. In my opinion, I should be more
punctual while managing tasks. I should also work on my time
management skills. I also think that I panic easily, which gets quite
overwhelming at times because I tend to waste time, stressing over the
amount of work I have to do instead of actually doing it.
Benefits:-
Being an art student myself, it made it easier to design the course for arts
and crafts. I think I am quite collaborative and open to ideas which made
me easier to work with. I believe that on days when things were a bit too
overwhelming, I would try to lighten up everyone’s moods by cracking
jokes and being hopeful. I see myself as a very enthusiastic person,
hence I think I can be fun to work with.
Challenges:
Whenever we had to face a problem, I would get a bit too expressive,
which made things a bit more problematic. One weakness of mine is that
when I present an idea and no one takes it into consideration, it frustrates
me. Or when I’m working hard on something and someone criticises me,
I just lose the motivation to work. Even though I am a very lively
person, I have a short temper and can get annoyed easily. All of these
things might be a bit problematic to my team members, but I’m actively
trying to work on them.
Challenges:
Although, there are pros and cons to everything. Due to convenience
issues, we were not able to have proper meetings over our project as
both the guys were in a different campus and working online was quite a
hassle. When our school admin and teacher initiated a solution to the
problem, the guys would come over to our school and things became a
tad easier as we were finally meeting. Although we still had timing
issues because by the time the guys would arrive at our school, half of
the class time would have been passed. This was one of the major
reasons why we couldn’t carry out our project execution on time.
Our Outcome:
The purpose is to help children from underprivileged schools who
subsequently have had a lack of exposure to extracurriculars and in the
due process not been given an opportunity to develop skills and become
aware of basic things.
Our focus is in helping them learn:
● Communication skill
● Arts and crafts
These skills will help them in their later lives and they can pass on their
knowledge and skills to other children as well.
Overall learning:
Working on this project has given me an opportunity to improve my
rights and work on my wrongs. It has given me exposure and has been a
great experience as a whole. It allowed me to reflect on my strengths and
weaknesses and helped me develop leadership skills.
