The one that whispers you can be the best. You can represent your country.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Basketball<\/p>\n “I discovered it was the place where I could thrive, express myself, and keep balance.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Volleyball<\/p>\n “It was pure joy, a sense of relief. After 10 years of trying, tears started streaming down my face.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sprinting<\/p>\n “I just want to continue and compete to the best of my ability for my country, my family, my friends, and just leave it all out on the track.
