Skills I learned while completing this project

During this time, while completing the project, I was able to develop more as a leader and a mentor.  I developed better my interpersonal skills; I can influence colleagues and I am more innovative and creative.  I improved my communication skills and open-mindedness when students were struggling with some aspects we discussed and accepted their opinions, although sometimes I disagreed with them.  I can accept other opinions without being biased on their reasons.  I am more resilient, with more self-awareness, proactive thinking, and adaptability.

I learned that I can guide people into fulfilling an objective.  I wanted to teach my students about certain aspects that we did not have enough time to discuss during class in a fun way.  I completed that goal.  They learned more than I was expecting them to learn.  I always knew that I was a leader, but again, some previous experiences made me hide it.  I am also more vocal in my feedback on some activities.  In the past, I just allowed others to make decisions instead of giving my honest feedback. 

At some point, during this project, I was able to give my opinions and feedback without holding back.  I learned also to be more respectful to the students as human thinking beings.  I learned that everybody had the opportunity to learn and to be more independent.  I should guide them and teach them, but each one of them has a brain that they need to use at some point to provide information by themselves.  I learned that leadership is something we can do together, not alone.  Leaders need their people to achieve goals and to step into a whole new level.  Leaders can rely on their team as the team needs to rely on their leader.
