I decided to go with a personal project related to swimming as it is something I've been pursuing competitively for the last 6 years.My goal was dual purpose. Firstly, to create an educational product that can help impart certain niche and intricate technical aspects about swimming in layman terms for the benefit of all swimmers. Secondly to also take it upon myself and bring in those changes into my swimming. The project work gave me an opportunity to create something of my own. The entire process of writing a process journal, discussion and communication about the product with the supervisors helped bring in necessary discipline and a lot of thought clarity.

My research and critical analysis skills developed as the product progressed. My ability to introspect has improved. Since this is an educational product and a medium where the product should be self-explanatory and I will not get a second chance to explain myself, I had to revisit, reflect, replay the entire story innumerable times. Overall, while following this process, I learnt many values and life skills, namely, to research, analyze, introspect, empathize and try to be creative in communicating and expressing my ideas to others.
