During my time in Taylors College, I was very grateful for the opportunities
available. There were lots of charity events, workshops, talk and seminars,
trips, conferences and competitions throughout the year. I have participated
in many of those activities and have wonderful experiences. Towards
the end of my study, I found myself to be a more outspoken person with
leadership capabilities.
