My goals and values in life are very important to me. With them I hope to explore Physics in new avant-garde way. As well as explore places with a certain je ne sais quoi to better define the artistic part of myself. I have come from an environment where I have had to rely on myself mainly for motivation. Of course there is beauty and strength even in the most dirtiest crevices of society. It is from here that I gain an external confidence and motivation to pursue the things I do.
