“The most valuable lesson that I learned from Link Crew was to loosen up and have fun. Being a leader is more than being responsible and having good character. Having the ability to relax and handle stress and unexpected situations is vital to being successful and demonstrating strong leadership skills. My involvement the past two years has been a life changing and inspiring experience.”
