参赛学生感言

赵思昊 Alex

Looking back, we’ve gone a long way on our NEC journey, but I still remember the excitement of making it into the global finals like it was just yesterday though. In the end, even though we didn’t get any “awards”, what we got out of this competition was greater and more valuable than any award or price tag could possibly contain. I’m grateful to all the teachers and the school for all of the support and hard work. Especially my teammates, Horace, Ethan, and Jason, you are truly gifts, and we wouldn’t be where we are today without each other. This is going to be the last time I attend the competition with you, and I’m glad that you made it one that will always leave a mark on me for the rest of my life. Looking forward to seeing you on the international stage next year!

I would like to express my gratitude to all my teachers, classmates, and family for their support and encouragement, which gave me the courage to challenge myself and pursue higher goals. I consider these honors as closely linked to your support and accompaniment. I will treat these honors humbly and see them as the motivation for my future efforts, and I believe I can do better in my future study and life.

I'm very honored to participate in the National Economic Challenge international final. I was amazed when I first saw the promotion email, but we thought that was not enough. Me and my teammates fought hard in the international final and got quite a good position in all of the international teams. We practiced a lot and had countless hours spent in meeting during the preparation phrase, and at the end, it all paid off. I definitely improved critical thinking skill and enhanced my logic on analyzing economic situations by participating in NEC. It's been a month full of challenge and fun, I will never forget the excitment when meeting competitors from all over the globe. Lastly I want to give huge thanks to my teammates for the indispensable collaboration, and my teacher for the flawless education, and myself for the hard work.
