 As a Tourism Student, This event taught me a lot about leadership. It is no longer
about whether you have a status, but about whether you can be a leader without
expectinganything in return. The activities also taught me that even if you don't win in any
competition, you still a winner because you gave your all best for yourself and your classmates.

IV. KEY TAKEAWAYS

The things I learned from this event is a lot, such as the importance of working
together to achieve your goals, which I learned from the event's organizers. And one thing I will
never forget is what Ms. Aleny Joyce said: "Follow your passion; it will lead you to your
purpose," and it gave me more courage to continue with what I want to happen for my future. I
also learned that no matter who you are or what you do, you can be a leader if you put your heart
into what is best for others. The Risk Management Training also taught me how to properly kill
germs in a room or object. And one thing I learned from the activities is that it doesn't matter if
you win or lose; what matters is that you give your all and keep going
