Being BUILD director. I learned a lot and was challenged a lot as a leader in both good and bad ways. I became a much stronger leader, which was good because I value my leadership abilities. I grew as a person and learned a lot about myself. I learned to work with peers and friends on a professional level. Also worked with adults, such as admin, parents, other people in the community. Also worked with the 80 kids coming to campus for the first time. Just trying to make a home for them and push them to learn more about themselves. BUILD also allowed me to meet my friends and it set the foundation for my entire Duke experience. I wouldn’t be the same without BUILD, and I might not have done DUU.
