Once trapped in a rigid school system where "even playing felt like a sin," Ximan’s transfer was a dizzying leap into self-regulated freedom. She anchored herself in the logical safety of pure mathematics, but truly came alive on the basketball court. As a school team veteran who had never played a formal game before high school, she experienced her ultimate "anime-style" triumph in a heart-stopping, one-point underdog victory against an undefeated rival. Balancing grueling application deadlines with a relentless game schedule—even playing an away match the night before her pivotal university entrance exam—Ximan demolished her own limits, proving that work and play are equal partners in a life fully lived.
