Today was such a hectic but fun day. One of the best parts was meeting some successful women in different types of professions, such as engineering and sports. Getting a chance to communicate and to learn from them was really a valuable experience which I would never forget. Then, we went to the Sunfest in the downtown area which was quite crowded. There were lots of food and market stalls selling a large variety of food and products. I learned more about the Canadian culture and got the chance to interact with more local people. They are always nice and helpful.

The Sunfest was absolutely
memorable to me, as we were able to experience the cultural diversity in Canada
through tasting various kinds of scrumptious Canadian snacks and other
delicacies from different parts of the world. But what really inspired me today
was the Girls CAN rotation stations activity. Listening to the personal
experiences of different female leaders in the community reminded me that, even
though women are often stereotyped as both physically and academically less
capable than men at work, that doesn’t mean women cannot and should not do what
men do. Instead, we should always keep in mind that our gender is not to be
treated as a disadvantage, but as a gift to be treasured and embraced.
Therefore, let us all believe in our potentials, remember the words “Girls CAN”
and strive to make a difference.

The most memorable part of today was the Girls Can
activity. We visited the Faculty of Engineering in the Western Campus and
listened to the sharing of four successful women leaders in the auditorium. I
learnt a lot about how technology helps improve physiotherapy outcomes and what
great things women can do in society. It was really meaningful and inspiring. I
learned about different jobs that women can do in society and was convinced
that women can actually achieve a lot, including their dreams, careers and all
sorts of things in life.

6 days lapsed in the blink of an eye, we are already on
day 6 but today was very special. We visited the Western Engineering lab and
there we witnessed great people inventing brand new equipment and technology,
aiming to make people’s life better. We were incredibly inspired and motivated
to follow their example- to do our best in our way and contribute for
improvement in people’s life in the future. Moreover, we had an unforgettable
visit to the famous Sunfest today with a perfectly sunny but breezy weather. We
had a chance to taste Poutine, also to feel the relaxing atmosphere within the
festival. We had an incredible time meeting different welcoming Canadian as
well as immersing fully in the Canadian culture!

Today was an extremely exciting day. We first had
different activities on the topic ‘Girls CAN’. We met guests, such as a CEO of
a hospital, who shared their insights on leadership with us. I was amazed by
the programmes and robots originated from the students here, especially the
headset which could detect one’s brainwaves.
We also went to the Sunfest, which I had been
anticipating. The place was very crowded but at the same time filled with
Canadian colors and culture. We got removable tattoos on our wrists and enjoyed
snacks. It was definitely a joyous occasion.

The topic today is ‘Girls Can’. Girls are capable, can
make a difference, and can even change the world for the better . Through the
sharing of accomplished women from various industries in Canada, including
Canadian volleyball player, Rebecca Pavan, the President and CEO of St.
Joseph’s Health Care London, Dr. Kernaghan, and registered dietician and home
economist, Dr. Matthews, we acknowledged that girls are not only limited to
some typical occupations. Instead, we are all capable of anything where our interest
lies. By turning our passion and confidence into motivation, we, girls can all
be outstanding leaders in the community.
After the water day, we went to the annual Sunfest, a
music festival containing elements of Canadian cultures. There were booths
selling traditional Canadian clothing, accessories, oriental tapestries, dream
catchers and offering hennaing. Dancers were dancing energetically and
enthusiastically to Canadian music on the stage. We strongly felt the charisma
and charm of London! We also had poutine, big-‘mack’ fries, hamburgers, hot
dog, burrito, churros and funnel cake to end our fruitful day.

It was water day today. We and the counsellors enjoyed
the afternoon with plenty of water. Splashing and screaming, we threw sponges
and water balloons at each other during the game. As it was the first time for
me to experience such thrill, I was on cloud nine.
Later in the evening, we went to the Sunfest, which
allowed me to feel the Canadian culture. The performances and bazaars selling
Canadian crafts such as dream catchers were impeccable. We also tried an iconic
and scrumptious Canadian food, poutine. I hope I could attend the festival
again and I long for the Nigeria Falls trip tomorrow.

Day 6 of our trip is yet another amazing day! We started
our day off with Girls CAN, which is a rotation station where we met inspiring
female leaders, such as a dietician who taught us the importance of balancing
our meals, a teacher who taught us that teaching is not just limited to the
classroom but also out of it, and more.
During the activity, we also visited the biomechatronics
laboratory in the main campus. We spoke to students working on different
projects that use mechanics and electronics to help people in need. We were
also taught the importance of realising that women can do the things that men
can do equally. Realising that we can step into once male-dominated fields is
extremely inspiring as well.
Next, we had our next activity – water day! After
changing into suitable clothes, we engaged in different water-filled activities
such as sponge tag, drip-drip drop, and more. Everyone ended up getting soaked
at the end of the session, and it was extremely fun! Then, the graduates of
Brescia gave us a brief introduction to their school, and we learnt about the
history and the programs that Brescia has to offer.
Finally, we went to the Sunfest, which is a funfair where
we got to taste different kinds of food and shop at different stalls. The
Sunfest celebrates the coming of summer and we experienced the thrill of going
to a festival which enables us to enjoy music, food and shopping at the same
time! It was truly a magical experience.
