Applying skills in practical situations is a part of me, so boxing is my way to apply what I got from working out. What I take away from the training of boxing is the courage to directly face any obstacles and the mental strength to make quick but possibly accurate decisions and reactions.

I took two courses: Space Exploration and Astrobiology + Deductive Logic. I experienced what does the college life at Harvard feel like. I got the chance to communicate and to make friends with the teenagers from other countries for the first time. I also shot a gun for the first time.

I had a really good time in South Africa! I never thought that I was that popular and interesting to other international kids. I had many deep and interesting conversations and debates with my friends there. I still kept in touch with some of them.
