Polished transcript:

Male Female

So today, I would like to talk about the difficult choice that I had to make in my life. Um, 5 years ago, I broke my leg when I was here with my parents. And I had to stop playing for, like, 6 months. During that period, I received a lot of US scholarships because I was in the national team and played very well. Many universities offered me scholarships because it's very expensive. So, with a scholarship, it's much cheaper. But, a very incredible thing happened during that month that I couldn't play. So, I changed my mind and realized that I didn't want to play golf for my whole life. I preferred to study in Rome because I live there. As a result, I decided to play golf just for fun with my friends. Moreover, playing golf requires a lot of skills that you have to develop and improve, so you don't have to waste time. Therefore, this decision changed my life, and I was surprised that I chose to stay in Italy.
