my point, but also to improve from assimilating every point of view. I
love music and traveling, and play a few sports.

If I had to pick three words to describe myself I think I'd go with
stubborn, impulsive and communicative. I can easily annoy people
around me and I sometimes find myself saying some rather useless
things, mostly because I’m frequently absent-minded. On the other
hand, I’m an ambitious and hard-working person and I have a lot of
goals for the future. I hate leaving things unfinished (unlike some
people...).
I consider myself friendly and therefore socializing is one of my favorite
things to do. About my activities… sports, modelling and, of course,
debating are my hobbies. I dream Bugatti Veyrons at night and would
love a holiday in Las Vegas, so… wish me luck!
Nae,
I’m an optimistic kind of person; A little bit over-imaginative but downto-
earth when it comes to debating (most likely only then). I’m a freerunner,
love Japanese culture, anime and language, enjoy fighting, arts
and rock music, am very interested in mysticism and have developed a
fondness for dancing – in other words, hobbies out of the way. Thanks
to my sanguine temper, I’m not the type of person who will start
something and always finish it, as I get bored rather quickly, so I’ll only
stick with something if I truly like it.
My dream is to found a school where debating is used as a means of
education. I love ice-cream and I suspect ice-cream has feelings for
me as well.

I’m usually an outgoing and laid-back type of guy and if I think people
should live by “chill but never forget the thrills”.
My favorite music genres are rap and hip-hop. ”I got lots of love for
my [debate] team that is” – I care for and trust my friends just as they
care for and trust me. I like many sports (basketball and swimming in
particular) and winning. Winning's not a sport in itself you may say…
Debate then. Need I mention competitive spirit?
I also particularly enjoy discovering new things. The one thing I
definitely loathe is nonsensical blabber – when people talk without a
reason or knowing anything about the subject.
Sabin
I believe that being energetic, determined and friendly are some of my
strongest virtues. I’m the kind of person that likes getting involved in
various activities and am always willing to spend time and energy in
order to achieve my goals. I sometimes turn into a perfectionist and
become focused on optimizing all things around me. I do know how to
lay back, though, and like being surrounded by my friends and having
parties. I intend to travel a lot: for fun and self-development. I look
forward to the WSDC as a horizon-opening experience.
