I'm Zolboo from Mongolia. I live with my parents and younger sister. My parents are very supportive of me and I respect them very much. In school, I'm typically the leader. It's a lot of responsibility and I try to set good examples for other students. I love to sing and I have participated in the school choir since I was in the 3rd grade. At home, I help my mom as much as possible. It would be a shame to let her do everything by herself. I have a passion for basketball, so what better than going to the home country of basketball.
