• When I stepped outside my comfort zone?
  In University, I participated in the elections of the one of the major Executive Committees. Being an introverted person, it was extremely disconcerting to be part of such a public process.
• When I challenged and changed my own beliefs?
  When I was Co-Chairperson for the Organising Committee for an orientation camp, I was forced to realise that having a purely task-oriented attitude would not be effective. I was under the assumption that such an attitude would always be effective and get the job done. However, with about half my team members being more people-oriented, I had to change my own approach to connect better with them and ensure that we met our deadlines.
• When I organized or managed a complicated event or program?
  In Junior College, I got my first major leadership opportunity by being the chairperson of the annual event. It was a full day event that involved every single student and staff member. It was even more challenging as it was the 10th anniversary of the event and we had VIPs such as the Minister for Education and the media was involved. I got to learn how to deal with operations mishaps by fire. The learning curve was certainly steep for this project.
• When I recovered from a major setback?
  When I moved to a new country at age 10, I had a very tough time making new friends as most already had their circle of friends. But I pushed myself and adapted according to the situation and finally found my place in the new environment.
• When I achieved something no one believed I could?
