Something was wrong, I was very lonely, and even from Ticino realized it. Luckily, they made me put everything I had inside, but I didn’t have the time to metabolize.

Some contacts here in Ticino and in the next few weeks we will have meetings to understand how to organize ourselves.”

There are grounds to be able to juggle sport and study, certainly better than what could have been done six months ago
