Met online , Lathif and Ananda expressed their feelings of joy and pride to the UPNVJ Public Relations Team, "With this activity, we are very happy because this competition is our first competition that goes directly out of town to become a delegate for the UPNVJ Medical Faculty. What we like is the challenge in completing this essay competition and the many new experiences that we have gained. There are also several things that are difficult and challenging in this competition because the competition time is close to the exam schedule plus the long journey to Surabaya which is quite tiring. However, with the help of parents, stakeholders in the Faculty, and also the supervising lecturer, we have been able to step up to this point," he said.
“Although constrained by holiday time and exams at the Faculty of Medicine, we feel that we have made good preparations. Some of the things we have prepared are of course research on the topics we bring, conducting research, writing reports, preparing the things needed for offline competitions in Surabaya, and most importantly preparing mentally to take part in the competition. We hope that fellow students can foster a strong interest and enthusiasm to represent the campus, faculty, or student organizations in various competitions, both academic and non-academic. We have an important role to carry the good name of the campus wherever and whenever. Therefore, hopefully with this good moment it can encourage the enthusiasm of friends, especially in the Faculty of Medicine of UPN "Veteran" Jakarta to become delegates in all activities that can make the name of this beloved campus proud. Finally, a life that is not at stake will never be won, "Lathif and Adinda concluded in their written statement.
With this achievement, UPNVJ continues to demonstrate its commitment in supporting academic development and student research. Congratulations to the two students who have brought good name to the university! (*s)
