Costin-Nectarie Radu

I started my high school studies in Austria when I was 15 years old, and at the same age, during my school breaks, when I was coming back to my hometown, I started working at my parents' butchery. Moving to another country by myself at such a young age to chase my dream of becoming a professional ice hockey player and studying in an international school helped me become a better person and human being in so many ways. Firstly, being around other international students helped me understand different cultures and automatically made me become more social and extroverted because I was the only Romanian student in the entire school, and without that change, it would have been impossible for me to make the friends that I have made along my journey in Austria, and make all the beautiful memories I cherish every day of my life.

Worked at my parents' butchery from age 15 to gain insights into business operations, focusing on sales fluctuations and market trends in the meat industry.
