Personal Development Plan: Improving Areas of Weakness
CAREER DEVELOPMENT – LT5051
CORAL YUNQUERA - 11024283

Introduction
My personal development plans objective is to identify, classify and deliver the actions that need to be taken to achieve my life, personal and professional goals.
This module has allowed me to better recognize my strengths and weaknesses which will drive me to my goals.
‘’A Personal Development Plan (PDP), also called a Plan of Improvement, is a document intended to improve areas of weakness that a person may have. ‘’ (Derrick Meador, about.com)
My current situation
I study at London Metropolitan University. I am currently in my second year studying Events Management and Public Relations. I decided to go to university due to my lack of confidence. I previously did not believe in my possibilities and had never thought about my future.
My past drew my future. Being unhappy in the past is what has encouraged me to seek a good life. I moved to the UK three years ago not knowing what I was doing. I motivated myself to get here which was not easy.
As I am in my second year it is time to think about my future and the goals I want to achieve in life. This module has enabled me to consider personal and professional goals and decide on my career path.
With this module I realized that in addition to working on my weaknesses I also need to work on my strengths and make the most of them. A weakness could be turned to strength with some effort. In the events industry there is strong competition and this is why I have to work positively in my education which leads to my professional life and is related to my personal life.
Goals and Aspirations
My current three goals are to:
1. Settle down with my partner.
2. Feel successful in my professional life and enjoy my job.
3. Finish university and have some work experience by then (internships…).

1. I always felt unstable as I have been moving from one place to another consecutively. Since I moved to the UK I have lived in more than seven houses. It taught me to be

    East of Eden was a well written book although in my opinion, i found it fascinating that the story was taken place in California since i'm from and living in California. I enjoyed reading about two families with many problems and hardships because it was very suspenseful and you can vividly imagine the craziness in your head of people dying, yelling, hiding secrets and hope it was a creepy community that does not exist.

    The responses by the American people to the Great Depression varied over the 1930s. From the years 1929-1933 when President Hoover was in power, there was a deep sentiment of cynicism within the country. Hoover failed to properly attend to the needs of the populace and was subsequently replaced by President Roosevelt in 1933. Roosevelt’s charismatic and optimistic demeanour helped set a new national tone of hope, persistence and courage. The American people were known to have taken on this positive spirit throughout the 1930s despite the adversities they faced.…
