Affiliations
Coming from a different ethnic background, one of my favourite things to do is travel. Travelling opens my eyes to new cultures, new experiences and new ways of life. Having travelled to 18 countries by the time I was 18, I have a very broad understanding of different areas of the world and this knowledge helps me in day to day life and even in work-related situations. In addition, I am very gifted at writing. In the past, I have enlisted in many competitions for poetry and even wrote short books at the ripe age of 10. Of course, this talent stems from my passion for reading and obtaining knowledge.
