Activity 02 - EMF Fun Run

Justification in joining the activity:

I join the activity because my friend invited me to paricipate this event. I was eager to join because I love to run. Moreover, this is my second run event and I did not join much run event because the venue of the event is usually far from my college, KTDI. It is quite fear to go alone without friend. This objective of this activity is to create awareness on the need to save the nature especially endangered animals among students and society.

The Graduate Attributes that are focused on:

• Global citizen: By joining this event, I can be a good global citizen by keep udating with current issue about endangered animal. Endangered animal is a big issue where it may cause our ecosystem disrupted.
• Adaptability: To prepare for joining the activity, I trained myself by running slowly since I never run for 5KM straight. If I did not trained myself, I would have easily exhausted and I may suffering knee injuries  due to lack of exercies.

Content of the activity:

EMF Fun Run is a 5KM run for charity activity that was organized by Jurutek. During the activity, we have to gathered around in Stadium Azman Hashim to do warmup before running. After that, we started our challenge to run 5KM. After cut of times, all participant need to gathered at the stadium for the prize giving ceremony. There is also a lucky draw event and the prize is quite exclusive to win.

EMF run is my second run event in UTM. At first, I did not have any intended to join this event because the venue is quite far and I am not afford to go there at night. However, my friend has invited me and I was so eager to join it. Additionally, the event is about endangered animal and I did not have much knowledge about this. Therefore, by joining this activity, it makes me a better global citizen as I am more ethical in making decisions. I did not pay much attention to the environmental issues and it made me open my eyes to get more info about this issue.

In addition, I rarely join extra curricular because Im worried if I will get tired if I join it. However, having a 5KM surprisingly give me a best feeling when I finally get to do exercise and running. I think it was a good event because sometime we have to put aside our study and enjoy our life in university. Study is not about learning in class only, but also outside of the class.
