Something I'm most proud of is that I overcame an injury that was in my left knee. Looking back now, I overcame something that was very heart-breaking and traumatic. After the injury, I couldn't play football, although I tried. The biggest impact the injury had on me was that I wasn't really being social or meeting a lot of people, which has hindered me from going to a lot of places and talking much. I refused getting opportunities from people. But now that I'm older and have gotten over it, I'm starting to take more opportunities — and coming to EXPLO is one of those opportunities. I'm meeting a lot of people here from all over the world, getting to learn about different countries, and introducing the place I live to them.

After the injury, I'm also trying to get more into pro wrestling, which is something I've been interested in since I was five years old. It's a more choreographed kind of wrestling. And I did football to condition myself for it; it helped me know my strengths and weaknesses. I can't really wrestle in front of a crowd before I'm 18, but I've been training. I watch a lot of movies and study old wrestling tapes like it's Hamlet. I believe that you always have to try to be the greatest in the area you want to be in.
