William Picout

I am currently in a gap year due to a major jaw surgery planned in November 2022. I have already completed two years in Neoma Business School, and will continue my business studies with my partner University in New York city in late August 2023. I consider myself to be a very sociable and outgoing person. Because of my personality and background, I feel comfortable in an international environment and enjoy meeting people from different parts of the world. I enjoy discussions and thrive on debating with people, listening to their arguments and stating my own. Debating is something I enjoy doing and a skill I would like to develop further. Taking initiative is important to me; organizing things, even on a small scale.

2017- Internship in a school for disabled children in The Hague (Inspector S. de Vriesschool)

During this week, I enrolled in a special school for disabled children to learn how to help and support these children of all ages (6-18), coaching them in many sports. On a personal level, I learned to be patient and understanding with people who are different and who embrace the world in a totally different way.
