- 2024 Spotlight
Personal Statement
I started rowing in 2019, by pure chance. I had the opportunity to try rowing a tourist wooden boat and the feeling positively caught me by surprise. I wanted to try more. Since day one of rowing in Rowing club Bled, Slovenia, I have been fully commited to the sport. I guess the main reason is the feeling of freedom and speed when I am on the water. There have been bad days, but I have always managed to get myself back up again. This year is my 6th season as a competitor on a national as well as international level.

I would describe myself as a highly adaptable, hard working, disciplined and a team-player athlete, ready to reach for the stars. A dream of mine is to compete at the Olympics, so I am looking for a school where I can improve to the best version of myself. I am ready to work untill my limbs fall off.
As for the academic achievements, I will list only the few highest ones:
-Completed 10 years of music school and playing in a symphonic orchestra (flute), with winning awards on national / international competitions every year (7)
-excellent grades every year of elementary school (5/5 gpa)
-4,45 gpa for 1st of highschool and 4,08 and 4,16 gpa for 2nd and 3rd year
-bronze and silver national awards in fields of: Geography, Physics, English, Mathematics
I can say I am a very dedicated student if I want to be, that being said, if I study something that interests me. My main fields of interest are Air transportation (aspiring to become a pilot) and Film & photography (prefferably sports).
