Interview

I do not enjoy trainings or gym sessions, as I believe track and field training routines are tough. Nevertheless, my attitude and goal during every race is to win, therefore I am willing to give my all in order to succeed. Through training, and the confidence it gives you, I feel capable to improve and become faster

The track and field culture of US colleges is long and impressive. Some of the best athletes in the world have started to shine during their time in college. To have the opportunity to compete against them, as well as to learn from them, is something I wish to experience. Furthermore, and in relation to my studies, completing a Master´s Program in Economics would allow me to further specialize in the field and would open many doors for my long-term future.

My college goals are to specialize in what I would like to dedicate my life to, that is a working in a decisive institution that can contribute to the world for good.

My ultimate goals in both track and field and my own personal life are to make a helpful and big enough contribution so my name is remembered. In athletics, I would love to become the faster hurdler of my country, and in terms of my working years, I would love to form part of a relevant economical institution.

I enjoy economic- and political debates/events. I love team sports and believe that track and field team´s competitions are great, as everyone gives out all they got to contribute to the team.
