"Something I learned in general was that it is better to build off of your strengths than focus on your weaknesses. I also learned to keep an open mind to what everyone was saying because there are smart people in the class, and you might learn something. People want respectable leaders who value their opinion. Another thing I learned was that you don't always have to be the leader. There are many capable people, and sometimes it may be best if you let someone else take over. We had a ton of leaders in our class and not very many followers, so it was difficult to get some things done."
"Be open minded. Accept challenges. Maintain a positive attitude."
