END OF AN ERA

I honestly can’t believe that this is my last blog post and that I’ve finally reached the end of this project. I can’t believe second year is over!

I thought as a final blog post I would sum up my overall feelings for this project. From feeling confident with my presentation work to communication complications with my designer and collaborative platform team, it really has been a rollercoaster of emotions and there have been lots of ups and downs.

Here are a few key reflective takeaways from this project. Firstly, I have definitely learned the value of time management. I pride my time management skills but they have definitely been pushed with this project. I have also learned that I would probably be a good team leader with reference to the collaborative project. I debated putting myself forward for team leader at the beginning but I think I doubted myself. Helping Nataria very closely with the project made me realise that actually maybe I would be capable of being full team leader. I do often doubt and critique myself, but going forward I need to not be like this. I need to take more pride in what I do well rather than put myself down on the things that I am struggling with or aren’t going too well. I really enjoyed developing a relationship with the designer Evie, through many Snapchat conversations and Teams calls. Although we lacked communication slightly towards the end, I think we worked well together and I am really glad I got paired with her to work on such an exciting project.

I have really enjoyed this year and I feel like I have made so much progress. I really think I have grown and improved as a student and a pending professional.

Second year, you’ve been a blast. Roll on final year!
