"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing" - this is what Albert Einstein has once said and this is in what I really believe. And the best way to satisfy curiosity is good education - so that is why I'm on this website.

My curiosity gives me a desire to know more about my planet - and this brought me into Geography. But learning the same Geography may be different - and I would like to do it among interesting people.

Thus, I am chazing after a good university for two reasons: education and communication!

Extracurricular

Winsurfing

I've been fond of winsurfing for already three years, even though I have an opportunity to surf only in summer, at the seacoast. I am quite successful in this sport and I love it very much: for me windsurfing is a clean sea, fresh air, strong wind, wonder

Nhat-Nam

Nhat-Nam is a martial art of Vietnam, which includes both physical training and phylosophy inderstanding (and it is weird sometimes...).

Painting in an Art Studio

I am going to say that I'm a young talent in painting. In fact, I'm not. I just like it!

"Maria's Children" (art studio for orphans)

An art studio for orphans with mental disabilities at different stages. The organisation aims to let these children develop through arts (in a friendly community). I have been teaching them origami.

Jazz Dancing Studio

For two years I have been attending lessons in a jazz dancing studio.

Publisher of a School Wall Newspaper

During a year I was a publisher of a school newspaper.

Class government

In our class government I was responsible for designing a wall newspaper.

A team for Maths Regate

A Maths Regate is a team competition where contestants have to show their mathematical skills through quick solving of given problems. I've usually participated as a simple member of out school team, though once I've been a captain.
