I was a shy young girl and since then, I\u2019ve been in many leadership roles like being a drum major for the 糖心直播 Typhoon! This opportunity has helped me meet new people, build my leadership skills, public speaking skills, communication skills and create beautiful memories,\u201d shared Cook.  <\/p>\n\n\n
