Personal and academic information

 
Tim is a 21-year-old athlete from Haaksbergen, The Netherlands. Tim is a very social person who loves to travel and likes to do things with other people. He is a very athletic guy and in addition to running he used to compete in survival events and play soccer.

Tim graduated the high school  (MBO level) in 2016. In 2016/2017 he took a gap year and traveled around the world for one year. It was a big eye opener for him, because he saw that not every country is similar to the Netherlands. He did volunteer work in Thailand as an English/sports teacher and did farm work in Australia. In the school year 2017/2018, Tim enrolled in a Dutch university majoring sport, health and management and successfully passed all of his classes.

In order to develop further as an athlete Tim is now looking to transfer to an American University in the spring of 2019. He is scheduled to take his TOEFL in October of 2018.
