Reflect critically on own learning against original aims and objectives set in the development plan.
Time management I hope that time management is completely good, when I made my plan of action. But I think I'm not very good at that skill, even though I think I can. Because some of the difficulties I had to face, and implement these methods. I met some of the challenges unavoidable, inevitable events have to do this because sometimes, one day I might I cannot do daily activities, and sometimes I can do that. Anyway after practicing these methods, I feel like I have a little bit to improve time management. Leadership skill After the training, all mentioned in mine action plan approach; I think my leadership has increased in the past where I was. Development of leadership skills is not an easy task. But after practice, so I am very easy to further develop these skills. I started doing these methods I was not a good leader, I did not clearly understand, until I practice these methods, what skills should have developed to become a good leader. To become wildlife photographer The beauty of photographing wildlife is that it is always changing and evolving, encountering the unexpected. In this environment the photographer must learn to work with these changing environmental conditions and behaviors, and the result cannot always be predicted. For me this only adds to the excitement of this type of photography. I use photography to document wild animals living in their natural habitat and place a frame around what I see to show others of the beauty we have all around us. Improving computer skills After I have mastered new methods of editing, it has been very useful to me. This has given the opportunity to me to compete with now a day rivals. Because I know that they are not aware. And also using these techniques I have been able to retouched, edit, finalize up to best point.
