I am very passionate about scientific research, especially in Astrophysics, so in the past years, I have always actively looked for opportunities to improve my knowledge and skills in this field through national and international programmes and competitions. I also appreciate that Vinschool has created a diverse learning and extracurricular environment to increase students’ experience in many fields. The school takes into consideration the different learning needs of each student, thereby developing activities that help us discover and develop our strengths and passion. Moreover, Vinschool teachers have always extensively supported me in many competitions and projects I’ve participated in, which I am really grateful for.”
