| What is your most memorable childhood experience? | One of my most memorable childhood experiences was studying at a military lyceum. That period of my life taught me discipline, resilience, and responsibility at an early age. I also remember my kickboxing training and my victories in national-level tournaments, which gave me a strong sense of achievement and confidence. |
| What immediate family member do you closely identify with and why? | I closely identify with my father. When I was younger, I did not always understand him well, but as I grew older, I began to understand him much more deeply. I admire that he is logical, consistent, honest, and successful in his field, and I often take him as an example. |
| What character traits do you admire in an individual? | I admire honesty and openness in a person the most. These qualities make it much easier to understand who someone really is and how to build a healthy relationship with them. I value direct and sincere people because clear communication creates trust and mutual respect. |
| What is the funniest thing ever to happen to you? | The funniest thing that happened to me was during my second year at university. I overestimated my abilities and made a bet with a classmate, in front of other students, that I could pass one subject without properly studying it during the semester. My idea was that I would attend lectures but postpone the laboratory work and coursework until the very end. I thought I could bring everything to the professor at once, finish it under pressure, and still receive a good grade. About two weeks before the exam session, I finally started trying to complete and submit everything. At first, the professor was not happy with the situation, but he was still willing to work with me and give me a chance to catch up. However, when he found out that the whole situation was connected to a bet, he decided to teach me a lesson. As a result, the final weeks became very stressful. I had to complete a large amount of work in a very short time, answer additional questions, and prove that I actually understood the material. The professor made the process much harder after learning the real reason behind my behavior, and the whole experience became very nerve-wracking. In the end, I passed the session successfully, kept my scholarship, and technically won the bet. Looking back, the situation was funny because the whole crisis was completely self-created and unnecessary. It was an absurd result of my own overconfidence, but it also taught me a good lesson. |
| If time and money were not an issue, where would you travel and why? | If time and money were not an issue, I would choose to live in a small town or village with a continental climate near a pine forest. I would enjoy a simple and grounded lifestyle, spending time fishing, gathering mushrooms, and being close to nature. That kind of environment feels peaceful, honest, and deeply fulfilling to me. |
| When and if you ever have children, what would you like to pass on to them? | I would want to give them an understanding of how large, diverse, and full of opportunities the world really is. I would also want to give them the tools and support they need to realize themselves in life. In addition, I would want to pass on strong values, useful knowledge, and a love for a healthy lifestyle. |
