Life without borders. That’s how I will describe my life. I always have been an active person in school and outside it. One thing that made me as a person is changing communities very often. Due to my dad’s work we had to move from one city to another very often which made me an adaptive and communicable person. I had to change communities, change schools and always make new friends. It was never hard for me and now I easily can find a common ground with anyone. My main achievement in my life is the FLEX scholarship exchange program to the US. It is a very competitive program with an acceptance rate of about 2%. This program totally changed my mindset and made me a completely different person in a good way. This is definitely the best experience I have ever had. Also, I am a member of a UNESCO Club and I was the leader of a sports sphere last year. Despite the COVID-19, we organized some activities for people. Interacting with other people, organizing these events made this experience wonderful. In addition to my academic skills, I also have developed creative and athletic skills. Along with good academic performance, I know how to play the guitar and play basketball. During my exchange year in the US, I was on the school’s basketball team and took guitar classes at an American high school.
