Since I am a junior, I strive for new opportunities and challenges. Before my academic career I worked 25 hours a week for my goal to become a professional tennis player. At a point when I realized that this dream might never become a reality I decided to strengthen my effort to realize my academic potential. As an athlete you need to have passion, motivation, curiosity and willingness to work hard. I am blessed to still name these characteristics my own in regard to my academic career.
