It's A Year of "Firsts" for Ivan Mitrovic!

This week's International Student Profile features senior Ivan Mitrovic from Belgrade, Serbia.  This is a year of "firsts" for the senior - his first year with 22ft Academy and his first time in the United States!  It is not however, his first basketball experience.  Ivan has played the sport on club teams back home for almost eight years.  His transition to Shannon Forest and Greenville has been a smooth one, with little or no language problems.  Ivan's biggest adjustment was going from being an only child to one of seven 22ft "brothers" living in the same house!  "I really like Greenville," remarked Ivan.  "It's nice and quiet."  He has found his classmates and teachers very friendly and helpful.  Ivan's favorite class is Health and Nutrition with Mrs. Overby.  He has traveled extensively throughout Europe and is looking forward to going home for Christmas break to see his mom and dad.  Ivan's mother runs her own ballet school and his father is an air traffic controller.  We're glad you're here, Ivan!
