"But more important is everything I learned about myself. To enforce rules, to give advice to older and more experienced women, to be helpful in conflict situations, to stay calm in a crisis and to make tough decisions, these were a big problem for me and confronted me with my own weaknesses.(...) I realize that through this whole time I gained more than I had to give."
