This medal was a nice surprise and, at the same time, a great confirmation of the work I do every day. Now forward with even more motivation to continue improving!”

I would have really liked to get the gold medal but I am still very happy with this result. I thank Mattia Ferro who followed me and my teachers who follow me from home. Thanks also to my teammates who support me and to my parents who allow me to do what I like.”
