One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've saved two lives

Made a side by side Battle with my older son at swimming competition. That was a most emotional moment in my life.

I broke my left knee ligament at age 28 by local mogul ski tournament. After my knee surgery, I became a national champion at over 40 age group 50m swimming freestyle 24.94second.

When I was a child I got a prize for drawing a lion, but I didn’t want to draw a lion I was drawing a human!
