My name is Leyal Semerciyan I was born to Turkish and Armenian parents in Istanbul. I grew up as a minority in this town that hosted countless empires and different ethnicities. I began my education in a french school then went to an American-based middle school so different cultures have a big impact on my life. About 5 years ago after I quit swimming me and my family decided to move to Uk for several reasons. I continued my education in Ascot and did my A-levels there.
