Hobbies
I have been very fond of sports since my youth. I started doing karate at a young age. I earned black belt at the age of 14. I was running professionally in high school even won some medals for my city. When I started university, I had to take a break from sports due to the intensity of classes and lack of time. These days, I spend my free time by going hiking and watching movies with my loved ones.
