Dear Admission Committee,

I am writing to express my enthusiasm for the opportunity to pursue studies in Economics and Data
Analytics at your university. As an ambitious individual, I wish to learn from and cooperate with the
most determined students in the country.

As a professional kiteboarder, not only am I the 2021 Lithuanian champion, but I have also taught
more than 150 people, managed and invested my earnings. Working in cold water every day taught
me self-discipline and a strong will.

Being great at math since 2021 while still in school and after graduating I have tutored students in
math. All those students I acquired by myself, and to this day I teach 12 kids a week and make more
than the average teacher’s salary.

To achieve my long-term financial goal, in 2020 I started investing. In 2021 I built a computer
specifically designed for cryptocurrency mining. To this day I have invested over 3000 euros which
are distributed through stocks and cryptocurrencies.

In 2022 with the help of my friend, I bought, fixed up, and sold 2 vehicles. On the first vehicle, I had a
42% markup, and on the second one, I managed to almost triple my money with a 165% markup. As
a result of this project, I learned to calculate risk and find investment opportunities in everyday
situations. If this were my “company’s” profit and loss statement, the gross profit margin on the 1 st
vehicle would be 30%, and on the 2nd vehicle, it would be 60%.

To this day I have finished 1,5 years of Architecture studies. After talking with numerous students
from my course, architecture graduates, and even architecture business owners I realized that this
path is not compatible with my values, long-term financial goals, or even career expectations.

Outside of the curriculum, to maintain my physical and mental state I play tennis and attend dance
classes. I often gather with close friends to compete in a game of chess. In addition, I am currently
learning French. To further improve, I flew to France in the summer of 2023 to attend an intense
French course.

I sincerely hope that my strong desire for knowledge, current academic achievements, and
experience will satisfy your requirements.

Sincerely, ……...
Arminas Žvinys
