So back then, when the team is still small and resources were limited, I had to step up and deploy myself when I couldn’t fulfill any last minute drop outs and I am very thankful that the team right, they are also able to do the same as me. They are as STEADY as me. So yeah, I am very thankful to have my team with me, without them I won’t be who I am today.
