Armen Hindoian is a fifteen-year-old freshman at Birmingham Community Charter High School. He likes watching and playing basketball, and his favorite team is the Golden State Warriors. His favorite player is Stephen Curry. He loves watching movies and TV shows, and his current favorite movie is Fast and Furious 7 while his favorite show is Breaking Bad.

He loves to talk about how he places bets on various sports. His favorite player to bet on is Joel Embiid because of his unreal nature in scoring points and flopping. Although his MVP chances are ruined this year due to his injury, he is still an amazing basketball player. Armen uses an app called Stadium Live to use coins (not real money) to bet on soccer, football, and basketball. This app also conquers the negative impact of wasting money while doing what he loves the most. He has also gotten into football due to his friends, and his favorite team is the 49ers because of their unique and young roster.

He was born and raised in Los Angeles and faced early challenges that would shape his character and inspire his ambition. He demonstrated extraordinary resilience despite limited resources and adversity. His resilience has set him on a path of personal and professional growth which has driven him to success despite all odds. His insatiable thirst for knowledge and his ability to improve himself is one of his defining characteristics. He displayed a keen intellect from an early age as his appetite for learning was intense and he then immersed himself in books, academic studies as well as other activities.

Armen took every opportunity for growth with enthusiasm and dedication. Whether he mastered a new skill, ventured into complex subjects, or sought advice from experts in his field, Armen would take any opportunity to grow.  His current favorite soccer team is Real Madrid and with the addition of Kylian Mbappe, they will soon win multiple Champions League trophies. He loves spearheading projects, mentoring colleagues, and fostering collaboration within his community.  These skills help Armen exhibit a rare combination of vision, empathy, and strategic thinking that enables him to navigate challenges with grace and resilience. The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
