Self care

I have always believed that I am a person who can quickly adapt to new environments and has strong self-care abilities. This is a problem that troubles many international students. Cooking is a pleasure for me. I often go to local supermarkets to see their vegetables, meat, and fruits, and try to make meals that suit my taste in limited environments and materials. I believe this is a kind of enjoyment of life.In addition, I have also learned various life skills such as organizing a room and doing laundry alone, which will be of great help to me in my future growth.

Returning to the basketball court

After coming to the UK, I participated in a basketball game organized by the school's basketball club. In that club, I felt the warmth of my friends around me. However, when playing basketball, everyone worked very hard and showed respect for their opponents. Although I didn't play very well, I also worked hard to integrate into this group, communicate with my teammates, share the pressure on the field, and do things that I could do well. My teammates also often encourage me. They give me more confidence and allow me to showcase my strengths on the field. After playing a game, everyone looks very happy, sweating and having fun playing with friends. This makes me very happy.

In school, all of my classmates around me come from around the world. We have different cultures and customs, but all of them are tolerant of each other, trying to understand new cultures and respecting each other's unique customs. I believe this is an important foundation for people to respect each other and connect from different countries. I feel very relaxed and happy in this kind of life. Taking myself as an example, I met my classmates from Türkiye at school, shook hands with my classmates from Europe, and hugged my classmates from China. People seemed very friendly.
