I wanted to learn new skills and also move out of my comfort zone. I wanted a change of pace and to challenge myself more. I wanted to allow myself to be more creative and open minded to new ideas. I wanted to be a part of a team that I can grow with and also grow within myself . To learn more people skills and working well in teams.
I have become more outspoken and open minded from the experience. I have learnt to take more initiative when it comes to opportunities and tasks. I have become better at problem solving and asking smart questions. I also realized that I can be a good leader when it comes to group tasks and my work ethic has improved tremendously. I ask more questions and provide more solutions than I did before. The opportunity has allowed me to think more outside of the box when it comes to ideas and deliverables which would benefit large scale communities in future. I am able to think more open-mindedly and my ability to analyze situations has improved. My communication and transparency has improved whilst working with different individuals within the company.
My highlights were meeting new people and making friends that I can depend on. The Leadership hike was really fun because I got to connect with individuals other than it being virtually. The Leadership group became my family which I will cherish. The low lights would be feeling rushed when it came to certain deliverables and always having a sense of anxiety to not only get things done but to give my best all the time. There was pressure when it came to deadlines and some were unrealistic but I managed to meet the deadlines ahead of time which was always a rewarding feeling. The thing that got me through it was the support from my Leadership family and friends that I developed a strong bond with ,within the program. Another Highlight would be creating a website using coding. I never thought I could do it but I proved myself wrong and now I am more confident within my abilities.
Persistence and Consistency is key. Manifest you goals and dreams by writing it out and visualizing your future. Have faith and believe in yourself. Prayer changes things . Be grateful for every opportunity that comes your way because it is a stepping stone to your purpose which God has in store for you. Be thankful for the closed doors in life because they prepare you for greater things. Embrace rejection and failure because they are essential for growth and without it you wouldn't have a testimony that could inspire many, and can be a survival guide to life. Experience builds character. Do not compare your season with someone else's because you might just miss your blessings.
