Interview

What makes you different

I do my best to distinguish from the other kids at my age, because their daily routine is very simple, so I want to spend my time after school doing something different. Like sport, like basketball. Working hard on the court is what I prefer to do.

Why do you want to compete in college?

College basketball played at such a high level attracted me. Also practicing basketball every day, at college I also can learn what I want. What I would like to achieve at college is to do something useful for myself

College goals

My goal in college is to do everything with diligence and desire so that I know I have given everything from myself.

Basketball and life Goals

I believe basketball makes me different. I want to do it at a professional level and as long as possible. Of course, learning does not go any further.
