The 13 years I've spent practicing competitive basketball deeply shaped who I am today. Even if training almost each day after school and organizing as much as I could studying to thrive academically tested my resilience, I never gave up. Being part of a high level team, often different every year, with strong motivation of doing very well developed my sense of competitiveness, self-control, determination to always give my all, even under pressure and it has also developed my ability to enhance every member of the team to achieve a common goal. I have always tried to improve the environment in which I am active, bringing my skills and my previous knowledge. The one-year experience as Student Government President of my High School gave me the possibility to show this attitude in a large community of about 1000 students, carrying out many initiatives: assemblies with experts, seminars, projects for the local businesses, a book exchange app for students, a constructive mediation between students, teachers and the Dean of the School
