Since I was 10 years old, the idea of one day programming real websites, games or robots have fascinated me as
something far beyond a hobby. I decided to make it a core part of my life, I started learning computer
science on my own a couple of years ago, through books, personal projects, and a structured
self-teaching path I built myself over time and through failures. I learnt how to learn.
No classroom, no teacher. Just curiosity and determination.
Robotics is not just about walking machines, it's for me a way to materialize computer science in the real world.
It's giving life to something from nothing. It is also one of the most promising fields of our time: robots could take
over the jobs nobody wants, reduce the human cost of wars, assist our elderly, or perform surgeries with superhuman
precision. But beyond all of that, robotics is simply where my two worlds, art and science, collide without any limits.
Building a robot means designing it, engineering it, and programming it. That's everything I am.
I'm also just a teenager from a normal family. Between school and self-teaching, I like to hike or bike in the nearby
countryside, or take some time to draw, but whatever I do, it's always with music on! I'm quite extroverted, some people could
tend to call me a loner, but I love spending time with others, it can be friends, or loved ones, online or in real life.
What drives me the most is what I could become and what I can achieve. Above all, I want to be proud of myself, I want a "thank you"
from the future me, to live without regrets. That's why I'm taking every opportunity I can to reach the highest point I can.
For years, I've wanted to become an international student. It started online, through a close-knit international community
where I discovered English, and just how vast the world really is. Later, I applied for the very selective international section
of my region and got in, my first real step toward that path. When it came to choosing a country, the US and UK quickly gave their
way to East Asia : better scholarships, stronger universities in robotics, and serious government investment in the field. Korea
stood out, the language, the writing system, the culture all drew me in. I'm currently learning Korean, aiming for TOPIK 3/4 by 2028.
Among Korean universities, SNU, KAIST and UNIST are my targets. But KAIST is the most specialized in robotics research,
and therefore the most aligned with where I want to go.
