The 2013/2014 academic year has been a great one for me, I have achieved many things, and lost fewer things. I started to learn how to be a true leader, and I sure have a lot more to learn. I learnt the skill of coaching students on resumes, interviews and careers. I made plenty of friends who are driven and always willing to contribute to the community. Before, my mentality was always to learn from people who are much more experienced than me, that was all great and helpful. This year, I found that I can learn a lot from students who aspire to be leaders. I believe I have achieved most of my goals this year, some may still need some work, but one thing seems to persist which is, I can always challenge my limits more when it comes to all aspects of life.

I want to mention one final thing that highlighted my year. I have realized that providing help for someone in need without getting any reward, or expecting any reward is much more gratifying to myself than the biggest of personal achievements. People do not expect others do such things, heck, I do not expect of me to do that. There is no logical reason at all in doing something without getting a pay back, but somehow the logic does not matter because happiness is achieved. I guess this is what you call ” true leadership”
