Interview

What makes you different?

I am very ambitious and motivated person. I set a goal and go for it, never leave it behind. The failure only makes me more ambitious and stronger and I never take it too deep although I don’t like to lose. I like the team work, being in a team is a great pleasure for me as well as keeping on good terms with my teammates. I try to stay always positive and I am very respectful to the ones that have ever helped me. Sometimes I am a workaholic but mostly I am a perfectionist. I have maintained the strong attitude when I do something to get fully dedicated to it and do it till it’s done.

Why do you want to compete in college?

What I mostly like is the competitive atmosphere in a US College as there are many good swimmers. In my current situation I am forced to swim on my own which is pretty tough. Moreover I would be able to see people from many different countries and make new friendships. The thing that really caught my attention was the absolutely brilliant combination of swimming and studies which will enhance my stay in college.

Swimming and life Goals?

My main goal is to participate in the Olympic Games in Paris 2024. What is more I want to get a good education and start working in the USA and settle their.

Anything else we should know?

I have been to several Mathematics competitions and attended some lectures as well as win many awards and certificates. Furthermore, I really enjoy playing other sports like volleyball, table tennis and soccer. An honor student with academic scholarship since 2017.
