So today, I would like to talk about a very difficult choice that I had to make in my life. Five years ago, I broke my leg when I was skiing with my parents. During that period, I was playing golf and I was in the Italian national team. I had received a lot of US University scholarships because I wanted to go there, but the reason I changed my mind and decided to remain in Italy, in Rome to study, was that when I broke my leg, I had to stop playing golf for like 6 months. During this period, I changed my mind. I understood that in the future, I would just play golf for fun with my friends because golf is a sport that requires very important skills to develop, and my abilities had deteriorated in these months. This decision affected my life because when I was a child, I had planned to go to the US and study, but I changed and decided that the important thing was to stay enrolled.
