 | Güler Arslantaş, Turkey "At the moment, as an international student, I am trying my hardest to stay on track with my studies. Hopefully, once this is all over -and it will be over- we will be able to look back and see how strong we have been through this pandemic. Please do not forget that you are not alone. Please do not be afraid to be reach out and seek help. We are #InThisTogether." |
 | Ariel West, Australia "As difficult as life is right now with not being able to hug or even see your friends and being apart from all our loved ones, we’re #InThisTogether despite being physically distanced. And I just want to let you know that it’s okay if you’re not as productive as you’d like to be at work or at uni. This is the toughest thing many of us have ever experienced and all we can do is our best ♡" |
 | Hyunju An, South Korea “It's a hard time for all of us and we feel so much uncertainty and anxiety. We were taking one more step towards our dreams and goals but it has been ceased. Nevertheless, we are strong and we can get through hard times. Let’s try to be positive and optimistic. We are all #inthistogether.“ |
