Moldova is proud of its students. Three pupils were awarded at the International Chemistry Olympiad that took place between July 19 and 29 in Bratislava, Prague. Chiril Solovei graduated this summer. The young says that he is interested in chemistry since he was a child. 

"It was hard to gain this success. The students from Europe and Asia are very smart and fast", said Chiril Solovei.

The boy wants to become a dentist as his father.

"I was accepted at the Dentistry University from Sankt-Petersburg. I like to help people", said Chiril Solovei.

Mihaela Magdei wants to study chemical engineering in France. She says that the Olympiads made her stronger.

"I was really calm and confident. I was well-prepared and this is why I achieved this success", said Mihaela Magdei.

To gain these results, the young worked really hard. Their teachers helped them a lot and so the USM teachers did. 

"Here we were studying the analytical chemistry and all methods of quantitative and qualitative determination of different species, including the analysis of objects in the environment", said Petru Bulmaga, teacher at Chemistry Faculty, State University of Moldova.

"Many countries achieved great results, but our result is very good", said Ion Bulimetru, the department chief at Chemistry Faculty, USM.
