“Knowledge is my passion, and seeing the limitless opportunities life brings with it is what drives me to success, be it in learning new languages, professional or social skills. In a team setting, I like to take on the leading role, yet am aware that this is not always what the team requires. I am able to adapt and listen to what my peers have to say and need and in that way cooperate with them. I strongly believe in what Aristotle once said: ‘The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.’ “
