Personal Statement
Hello, I'm Leonardo Bertolli Kriger. I'm 20 years old. For the past three years, I've been improving myself intending to become a better person. I spent a year in Israel, developing myself and making volunteer work, also learned a lot about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and got the chance to live with people from all around the world. Due to the pandemic, I had to come back to Brazil, but I got back to the volunteer work that I've been doing for the past seven years.
As I wrote before, I'm part of a youth movement, where we educate kids and teenagers in non-formal ways. This gave me the ability to comprehend the multiple ways that the human being can behave and act, and to conclude that with kindness and love, we'll make the world a better place to live. I also wrote a book about my conditions with autism and giftedness, what we call dual exceptionality, and to aware people that even with this different form of brain work, we are as equal and as capable as the "regular" people.
In 2018, intending to become a better person and student, I attended two courses, one was about High Performance and Financial Intelligence and the other was about Public Speaking and Emotional Intelligence.
I also speak Portuguese, which is my native language, Spanish and Hebrew, other than English, fluently.
