  • Tilting in CS

    I used to get mad a lot but this time I realized how bad my underlying anger issue really is. I decided to stop blaming my team when I'm playing the role of an in-game leader. Instead, I learn to understand others and be more patient.
  • Student Council 18-19

    Joining student council was my first experience being with a group of strong leaders. It is probably the few times I had to step down and be a follower. However, from that, I learned how to lead and develop a follower better.
