Chinese Culture at Lawrence Tech

"Quest gave me a great opportunity to develop andimprove my leadership skills. I learned how to work as an effective team member, how to take action as a leader, and when to be a follower. Being a leader does not mean taking control of everything all the time. Knowing how to distribute work to everyone fairly and efficiently is a tough task as well. I also learned a lot about how to give a speech in English, which is a second language for me. My Quest project was a great chance to put into practice what I learned from my technical and professional communication courses. It helped me improve my communication skills."
