For my future it is hard to imagine myself in a university/college without being an athlete for a number of reasons.

Rowing teaches me how to become multidimensional, organized and capable of following programs both in school and training. Moreover, it teaches me teamwork, while I have to cooperate with my fellow athletes.

Another thing that rowing really build up to me is a strong self-confidence because I always have to face different situations under difficult circumstances like a windy weather.

Lastly, all these years that I’ve been rowing I managed to achieve the sportsman spirit.

The reason I strongly believe I am a good fit for US Universities/Colleges is the unique opportunity to train in fresh air surrounded with water and open nature giving me this combination of harmony, discipline, strength, cooperation and most important of all the mental skills I have to develop in order to improve and be an active member of a team.

Furtherer more, another field of my life is piano and specifically composing musical pieces but playing the piano, too. So, both piano and rowing taught me how to be multidimensional while I had to keep up with my school and achieve high grades on my field lesson such as mathematics physics and chemistry.

As for my future major goal, I imagine myself in an academic environment that suits my organizing style, allows to communicate with people from different regions and most importantly to be given the opportunity to learn and develop from accomplished professors. What is more, the American culture of encouraging multidimensional personalities and allows mistakes that eventually show the way to knowledge is what best fits for me.

Finally, sports in general are good for body and mind so is engineering, which is the domain of my interest and where I see myself succeeding through discipline and hard work.
