As the President of BARS at North American International School, this is the first time I've encountered an organization like this. It has not only impacted me but also those around me in tremendous ways. It has helped us develop many new skills, such as time management, responsibility, and public speaking. Personally, it has improved my ability to handle critical situations and see things from a different perspective.It also taught me to keep my personal life separate from my professional life. As a wise man once told me, “It's nothing personal, it's just business.” We have all grown a lot since the beginning of this program, not only as individuals but also as brothers.
