Networking is working! SIFE WEEKEND

Nearly 250 students from more than 20 universities and business executives from the biggest companies in England came together to SIFE Leadership Weekend in Grantham. During these 3 amazing days we were:
  • building teams
  • networking (a lot!)
  • competing against other teams
  • listening to the lectures on Business Ethics, PR and Quality & Sustainability
  • playing Business Game
  • having a great Party :)
  • winning money for our future SIFE projects
  • and lots more....
But there is something more in that - if only you have an opportunity, take every chance that life brings you! Thanks to SIFE and our University, we had the chance to know new people and do something for our future.
I am now really looking forward the next months when we actually will build our SIFE team and, hopefully, will start some project which will change someone's life..

What are Friends for?

If only you ever wondered what friends are for, you could hear all these noble words:
  • for standing there and holding your hand in hard times
  • for providing you with advice and...sometimes money if you are in need
  • for overcoming your sorrows and fears
and it is all truth, but isn't it just as simple as sharing those special moments together? Moments like walking around the city, admiring beautiful weather or having great party in the night club?

This is how we celebrated these moments with Tung van Truong ...

That day was also special because of the Polish Elections for Parliament. As a responsible young citizens, we decided to participate in that event. I strongly believe that it does make sense and difference to my country. Every little vote counts!
We didn't expect that this huge amount of people thought exactly the same. Just look at this massive queue!

Still thinking who to vote for

And finally, deciding about Poland's future

Hello there!

It's just amazing how your friends can change way of view. My friend, Tung convinced me that I should create my own blog. He said that it would be great to look on it after some time and go back to those old times for a while.

And here it is - my first blog - soon I hope, full of pictures.
Enjoy it!
