INTRODUCTION
Personal reflection is the process of re-experience all the events which were faced while
performing set of different activities. With the help of it people may get opportunity to
reconsider the ideas, thoughts and feelings from a new perspective. It guides individuals to build
emotional self awareness (Campbell and Greenfield, 2018). It is beneficial to understand self
weaknesses, driving factors, weaknesses and emotions. Main purpose of it is to differentiate
between what was taught and what is required to be done in practical. This report is based upon

projects so that their chances of getting good career opportunities can be enhanced. I was
required to deliver the topic appropriately and use formal language while delivering so that a
positive image in the mind of analyser could be established. I tried to gather detailed information
about the project and made sure that I complete the report in the given time limit. For this
purpose, I have prepared a plan in advance so that all the activities related to my project could be
carried out in systematic manner. It has resulted proper completion of the report in
