Martin is well-educated and at first sight slightly shy. But when you look at him more closely you will see that he is confident at himself. He does not bother to show his artistic skills, to turn to the rhythm of salsa or to chat with friends. Sport is a hobby to him - he has not focused on a specific one, because he is curious to test all the experiences.

Here's what the 14-year-old has to say about himself:

How would you describe yourself briefly?

Funny, charismatic and chaotic :).

Who are your closest people and how do they support you?

My closest people, of course, are my family. For now, they support me and I don’t do it so much, but I hope that in the future I can get back their gesture.

You have a bigger sister - what are you doing together?

To my joy or regret, I can not sure yet, my sister is currently a student in England and we can not spend much time together. When we are in Bulgaria, we like to go to Salsa together.

What are you studying now and what do you think you will study in the future?

I am currently studying at the National Commercial Banking School - Business Administration with Spanish - I like this language as well as the Spanish culture very much.

I have already started collecting information and researching the opportunities for education in different universities in Bulgaria and abroad. For the time being, I'm still very much divided over two rather diverse areas for development - one is artistic and the other one is technical.

What do you do when you have spare time? Who are your friends? Tell me something about you out of school.

At my spare time, I hang out with friends. I love animals and especially big breeds of dogs, I love to play sports as well.

I do not engage in a particular sport because I like experiments and new challenges.

How do you imagine your future?

I do not have a very clear vision of how I would like to look like I grew up.

There are a few things I'm sure I want to happen.

I would like to work something that inspires and excites me, something that is really interesting for me and provokes me every day.

What helps you to find motivation when things do not evolve as you plan them?

When things do not happen according to my preliminary intentions, I get very angry. The good news is that I'm also fast passing through :)

At such moments, I prefer to stay alone and to listen to a music, as this is my way of relaxation and recovery.

Tell me about your hobbies, what you dream of when you are alone.

My hobby is to play computer games online and I can say I'm pretty good. My dreams – well, they are secret :)

What is the last thing you buy for yourself? What did you present to someone?

The last thing I bought for myself was sneakers, and the last one I gave - a watch for my friend Emil's birthday.

What others do not know about you, and you always wanted them to learn?

Those who need to know everything about me – knows it. For the rest – well, I don’t want them to know more.
