Let me take you on a journey back to a breezy April day in 2023. I was one of the selected students from UTS to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Poznan, Poland.

From managing group assignments, all the way to hopefully one day becoming an activist for social justice, the ability to be a leader is an essential set of skills that I need to master.
