This is the most inspiring story in my life. I always wanted to go in for sports. So I chose boxing club. One day a very shy boy of our gym said he wanted to become stronger to defend himself. I knew he was bullied at school and we decided to help Bogdan. Thanks to us he became confident and improved his skills.

About the Artist
Family Details
My uncle Pavlo is a professional boxer, he always taught me to believe in myself. My younger brother wants to become a part of the team too.
In What Ways is Cultural Heritage Important?
Cultural heritage is important because it helps to find and understand my identity, our unique connection between generations.
Likes and Dislikes
Three things I like: boxing, playing the guitar, and reading books. I adore reading books because I can feel other people’s experience and learn something new. Three things I dislike: studying geometry, eating beans, and washing up. I’m a picky eater that’s why I never eat beans.
Free Time Activities
When I have spare time I enjoy spending time with my family.
My Role Model
I can say that uncle Pavlo is my role model because he never gives up, takes care of his mental and physical health and makes others do the same.
Career Goals
When I grow up I’d like to become a psychologist because I want to help people with their problems.
