Reflection

During the past 8 weeks a group of colleagues and I have been working on a university project called "Learning while I am helping ".  It has been a hard and difficult way in which we have experienced different emotions, feelings and moods as a group and also individually. For this reason I want to share this personal reflection.


“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go accompanied “
 African Proverb.


It is interesting to follow to the letter that African proverb however in real life work as a team sometimes emerges from your interior negative personalities that we did not know that existed.


How I have felt during these past weeks working on my project 



I have experienced differents states of mind, such as: 
  1. Creative
  2. Emotional
  3. Empowered
  4. Motivated

1. I have felt cretative throughout the development of the project "Learning while I am helping" because I have had the opportunity to design, research and develop ideas that turn into concepts. In addition, it has been an enriching and fruitful experience as we must demand to achieve the objective.

2. I have discovered that I am too emotional and in most of the cases I have not been able to control myself. I must admit that I am a perfeccionist person and I like to keep everything organized even working time should run properly for me. In fact, that had been the reason for some ups and downs in the teamwork. It is important to emphatized that things had been improving day by day and, I am giving the best of me to make the communication work better between us. 


3. I have felt empowered because I have realized that I am skilled in organizing things and solving problems. Therefore, I felt that I have overcomed some fears such as speaking English in public, motivating people to follow a good cause that is taking care of the environment and I have broke my own limits in terms of skill and discipline. Finally, I have knowing myself every single day in this process. 



4. I feel motivated by my project because every day I research I have found more ideas to develop and propose in the academic field. In addition, we seek to generate awareness in people and so go leaving a footprint in the minds of all people involved.
