IMPROVING YOUR FACULTY FACILITIES

I think sport is a fundamental element which should be present in every person’s life, no matter what age. Nowadays, people’s lives are much more accelerated. People live with lots of stress, spend most of their time at work and have little time left for their families. Also it is important to mention that statistics reveal that the demand for junk food is increasing everyday.

Our university has a large space destined for sports but the infraestructure is very poor and does not allow the possibility for students to practice sports in the best way.

In my opnion, the university has not put sports as one of its priorities; it has not invested enough money in equipment or teachers. I think that the University has not given sports the importance it deserves. It is essential for people`s physical, psychological and social health.

The small improvements that have taken place are due to student iniciatives. They see sports as an opportunity to get together in a healthy environment, as a form of entertainment and distraction; a way of relaxing and releasing the constant stress they are exposed to. An example of this is the taekwondo group, which was created by a group of motivated students a couple of years ago and has managed to achieve high results.

I believe that, for the benefit of the students, the university should give sports greater attention and increase considerably the amount of funds destined to this area. It should give sports the importance it deserves, and by this, promote a healthy lifestyle for its students.
