Introduction A person's growth and development as a person continues throughout their entire lifetime. A person takes part in this procedure by analysing their own strengths and weaknesses and working to improve them. The success of a person's job and their own personal growth are both tied to their own efforts to better themselves (Harappa.education.2020).

Because of our conversations, they now agree to assist me in my study. It used to be uncomfortable for me to strike up conversations with strangers. This initiative has helped me overcome this challenge by providing me with hands-on experience communicating with people from diverse backgrounds. I conducted the necessary analysis of their interviews and surveys and wrote up the requisite reports. As part of the workshops, attendees could also participate in a variety of educational programmes. I was able to better grasp the material with their assistance.
