What went well?

The progress I made; what was achieved and done


  1. Finalized the materials to be included in the tool kit
  • A pamphlet (2 versions: in English and Fijian)
  • A self-care journal (with prompts inside)
  • A self-care Worksheet
  • A powerpoint presentation for PSA
  1. Worked with Camellia to develop the first part ‘Acceptance’ of the pamphlet
  • Camellia: worked on research for the information
  • Me: worked on summarizing the information and designing the pamphlet
  1. Interesting culture sessions
  • Fijian music through the ages
  • Walking through the Fijian Market (thanks the instructors for this amazing experience, despite being a super hot day LOL)
  1. Talks on Suicide Prevention in Fiji
  • Incorporated in the final presentation by another amazing groupmate Yauvani

What could have been done differently?

Things that did not get done and/or could be changed


  1. Due to busy schedule, I procrastinated a lot when designing the pamphlet. I could have started earlier.

What did I learn about myself when working with others?

Contributions, behaviours and values I exhibited


  1. I love working with my group (which was comprised of scholars from different backgrounds). Despite some disputes in the initial process, I learned a lot by listening to their different ways of seeing a problem.

What did I learn about leadership?

Leadership attributes and insights I developed


  1. Importance of being an active member.

What do I want to develop or focus on next?

What I still need to develop


  1. To improve on working efficiency. Since I still have to work on other materials in the tool kit.
