I have been looking forward to participate in this event, and today we finally got the chance to take part in it. Today's competition helped me improve my physical fitness and encouraged me to participate in more physical activities in my daily life. Moreover, it was nice seeing new faces and making new foreign friends from different countries and backgrounds. I am very grateful to the University for organizing such kinds of activities and encouraging more international students to show case their skills. These kinds of events are what’s making our university life more interesting, energetic and healthy. I’m inviting all my foreign friends to participate in such kinds of activities in the future, as these activities are very important.

I am one of SEU's international student ambassadors. This time I was responsible for organizing the participation of international students for this activity. This allowed me to experience my organizational skills for the first time. This kind of activity makes it possible to consolidate the relations between international students, and to create a lot more chemistry between us, and we also really wish that next time, that we would have a lot more participants. I would like to thank the participants who really made my work easier by collaborating well. It was a great experience.
