INTRODUCTION
Self reflection is a important term in human life because it helps in interpreting own
experience to others. Reflective journals is also a part of this procedure which is known as a
record of a student's learning experience (Boud, Keogh and Walker, 2013). On the basis of these
procedures a person can make changes in their learning approaches and can enhance their
knowledge criteria as well. This report is going to determine my own experience in project
making procedure because sometimes I faces numerous issues in these practices. This report is
classified in two different sections in which first part determines my major problems that has
major influence in my preparation practices. Second part of this report is based on my
performance in which I will going to explain that how I defeat my weaknesses and performing
well for my project. The major focus of this report is on my own interaction.

Project making is not an easy task because for this I need understand how to perform
properly while working in team. This is my preparation stage and on this faces numerous issues.
Major issues have arise in this process because I was performing individually in my learning
days but now for this project I needs to collaborate with others in order to accomplish assign
goals and objectives. I have faced some major issues as -
 Task allocation - Project management is a most important procedure in which each
candidate requires to put their efforts for gathering proper information in regard project
accomplishment (Yu and et. al., 2011). Therefore, it is my responsibility to allocate
individual task to each candidate. This is the major issues that always creates conflicts in
my working procedure because I am not as able to allocate responsibilities to my co-
worker properly. This is a most important procedure in which a leader always analyse
skills of their each individual before allocating any task to them. Therefore I needs to
grab these abilities in me for the betterment of a project.
 Time management – The key aspect of a project making practice is time management
that assist in the accomplishment of assign targets. For me, time management practices
creates major issue. But after getting involved in project making, I learned how to utilise
my time in a more effective way. My work and personal life is more sorted as I can
concentrate on each aspect with proper time management.

When we are handling a project, understanding and making reports are very essential for
it's management. However, if one cannot express his thoughts and can't make it understandable
for others, than all his hard work is in vein. I use to be very reserved, however, I overcame my
fears slowly and gradually. In the points below, I will explain on how I worked on overcoming
my fears.
 Overcoming nervousness- This is one of the major benefits I have achieved from getting
involved in the project. I use to be very introvert. I use to get nervous while talking to
others. But I knew I need to work on my fears. I gradually started talking to co workers,
tried to get more involved. I Pushed myself out of my comfort zone. And the results were
drastic. I have became more confident in communicating and more expressive.
 Public interaction – I wasn't very social which has always been a big problem. I would
get blank when it would come to public speaking. It has always been a nightmare for me.
Than to overcome this, I started getting involved in public events. I would always try to
volunteer as much as I can, so to always be around new faces and interact with them. I
got involved in group activities. Though I faced many issues initially, but later I built a
confidence. I successfully interacted with team members and delivered my thoughts to
them which was a great achievement for a shy person like me. I completed my whole
project without hesitating and got great results.
CONCLUSION
From the above report it has been summarised that for a individual it is required to
analyse their own strength and weaknesses by conducting a self analysis report. Weaknesses are
those factors that requires overcome properly by implementing new ideas and creative thoughts.
Reflective journals is a procedure in which student's learning experience has been recorded in
order to analysing their working practices. On the basis of these practices, a person can easily
enhance their working approaches and maximise their ability of working.
