In the heart of Palestine lives Jawad, a 17-year-old with a quiet yet powerful story. One of five family members, with a brother and a sister, Jawad grew up in a close-knit household where bonds run deep. His life is not defined by wealth or fame, but by the deep connections he shares and the dreams he has chased with determination.

From an early age, Jawad found passion on two wheels. By the age of 14 or 15, he was already competing in national cycling competitions—a milestone he speaks about with pride. "That's something I’m proud of," he says with a smile, recalling how his journey began as early as kindergarten. He doesn’t exactly know what drew him to cycling, only that it felt natural—fun. It was, in his own words, "like a dream coming true."

Despite this impressive accomplishment, Jawad remains grounded. These days, he spends time going to the gym and hanging out with friends. He admits openly, “No goal, nothing to reach,” suggesting a moment in life where he’s searching for direction. But underneath that statement lies someone who’s already achieved more than many at his age, quietly carrying the strength of his upbringing and the joy of simple things.

Jawad’s story is not just about competition or achievements—it's about roots, dreams, and the beauty of youth finding its way.

She said to me that she couldn’t decide where to go in high school. It was a difficult choice because she had many options, and she wasn’t sure what to do, but she made it through.

Martina doesn’t know exactly what she wants to do in the future, but she is interested in a very particular topic, psycology. She’s thinking about studying forensic psycology, which is not so common.

I asked her if she thinks she is more of a morning person or a night person and she told me that she is more of a night person and that she is introverted, but when she gets to know the other person better she is very open.

Another thing that i asked her was about her favourite type of music. She said she doesn’t have a specific type of music she listen to and that it depends of her mood.

Volleyball was not always part of Martina‘s life. At first, it was just a hobby for the 17-year old Italian girl. But soon, it became a real passion that shaped her path to becoming the successful young lady she is today.

It all started when she was seven years old. Martina had just stopped with her ballet courses, which were too expensive and too rigid to match her free and lively soul. Fortunately, there was a volleyball club in her home town, and she wanted to try something - that was the starting point of her future career.

Soon, her competitive personality matched with her hobby, and the motivation of getting better grew day by day. It was not only a free-time activity to her - it was the reason she woke up every day. Martina knew that it was her fate to enter the national volleyball team. „I know it‘s an utopic dream“, told the Italian girl, „I think I‘m too short and too old“. She explained that most player joined the team at a young age, whereas she is already seventeen.

When I asked Martina about a message she would give an audience, she said: „Be yourself. I know that it is a sentence that everybody hears and that seems useless, but actually, if you present yourself as you are, people are going to love you for who you are“. Hence, we may wish Martina good luck for her future and hope she will achieve her dream, and still stick to her core values.
