‘You can endlessly watch what you don’t like in society, while simultaneously complaining about how bad our life is. Or take a proactive position and become a change yourself, and encourage others to do so by your own example. That’s why I joined USF – a community that is not only close to me in terms of values ​​and views, but also helped me better understand the basic principles of political science, economics and philosophy, and, of course, to find like- minded people from all over Ukraine. For me, freedom is a right, a duty, an honor, a responsibility, it is the value of a society that will never become slaves. Therefore, we, students, must stand up for what is important to us on all possible fronts.’
