Francisco Gomes de Melo

At the end of my academic career, I would like to graduate in History/Political Sciences. This rich and comprehensive socio-cultural context would allow me to acquire vast knowledge and experience that would serve me well in life and my career. During University I would have access to better conditions and facilities for practicing athletics. Reconciling my two passions in a country full of opportunities will provide me with the necessary tools to achieve success, both in sport and in my professional career. With my discipline, focus and perseverance, values that I also apply in my school life, I believe that I have what it takes to achieve the success in both areas.
